Oscars 2018: Highlights and winners

So Matt Damon didn’t make a surprise appearance in returning host Jimmy Kimmel’s opening monologue this time—which included a couple of political jabs and straightforward comments on the ongoing issues of harassment and abuse—but Dame Helen Mirren did. As Kimmel offered the prize of a jet ski to the Oscar winner who gives the shortest speech, Helen Mirren herself presented the $17,999 prize on stage. Mark Bridges, who won Best Costume Design for Phantom Thread took home the prize later that night with a speech clocking in at 30 seconds.

Mary J. Blige made Oscar history when she became the first person to be nominated in both acting and music categories for the same film, and tonight, she set the Dolby Theatre alight as she performed an incredible rendition of her song ‘Mighty River’ from Mudbound:

In a breakaway from tradition, Jennifer Lawrence and Jodie Foster replaced Casey Affleck to present the Best Actress award, which went to Frances McDormand for her performance in Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri. The actress accepted her award with a powerful speech, calling for the female nominees in the room to stand up together in solidarity, and for the industry to be more inclusive: “I have two words for you: inclusion rider”—a clause that actors can insist to be included in their contracts, requiring cast and crew on a film to meet a certain level of diversity.

No mix-ups (phew) this year as Faye Dunaway and Warren Beatty return to the Oscars stage to present the biggest award of the night—The Shape of Water takes home Best Picture, along with three other awards: Best Director, Production Design and Original Score.
