  • PublishedMarch 5, 2018

Gary Oldman won Best Actor at the 90th Academy Awards for his portrayal of Winston Churchill in Darkest Hour, one of the most expected of all the wins.

In the Best Actress category, the favourite Frances McDormand won for Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri.

James Ivory, 89, became the oldest Oscar winner in history, taking home the Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay for Call My By Your Name, while Get Out triumphed in the Best Original Screenplay category.

Roger Deakins finally won the Best Cinematography (for Blade Runner 2049) Oscar at the 14th time of asking.

Earlier, Allison Janney won Best Support Actress for I, Tonya. Accepting the Oscar, she joked, “I did it all myself.”

Dunkirk, Christopher Nolan’s Second World War epic, has so far triumphed in three categories: Best Sound Editing, Best Sound Mixing and Best Film Editing.

Sam Rockwell won Best Supporting Actor, staving off competition from Woody Harrelson, Willem Dafoe (The Florida Project), Woody Harrelson (Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri), Richard Jenkins (The Shape of Water) and Christopher Plummer (All the Money in the World).

“You guys rock!” said Rockwell of his fellow nominees. He also thanked “everybody involved in Three Billboards and everyone who’s ever looked at a billboard”.

Elsewhere, Kazuhiro Tsuji, David Malinowski and Lucy Sibbick won the Oscar for Best Makeup and Hairstyling for The Darkest Hour. Mark Bridges, meanwhile, took home the statuette for Best Costume Design for Phantom Thread.

The fourth award of the night, presented by Greta Gerwig and Laura Dern, was handed to Icarus directors Bryan Fogel and Dan Cogan for Best Documentary Feature.

The Shape of Water won for Best Production Design, while A Fantastic Woman triumphed in the Best Foreign Language category.
