No big surprises tonight at the 90th Academy Awards. Guillermo del Toro won Best Director for directing the Best Picture, “The Shape of Water.”
Acting prizes were as predicted– to Gary Oldman for “Darkest Hour,” Frances McDormand for “Three Billboards,” Allison Janney for “I, Tonya” and Sam Rockwell for “Three Billboards.”
The Jimmy Kimmel hosted show was long — four hours– and its ups and downs like every Oscar cast. The biggest issue was the sequencing of awards– there was a good hour in there that was wretchedly dull. The bars in the Dolby Theatre lobby filled almost to capacity with nominees, celebrities and so on.More on that later tomorrow.
