90th Oscars ceremony had no repeat mishaps of 2017 telecast

Last night, Jimmy Kimmel hosted the 90th Academy Awards with an impressive monologue. Within the first few minutes, Mr. Kimmel addressed last year's major mishap of 'Moonlight' winning best picture over 'La La Land.' It was quite hilarious, and Helen Mirren presented a jet ski for the person which gave the shortest winner's speech. By the way, there was no clear winner of the jet ski at the end of the night. As for the big winners last night, there was not a major landslide. The 'Shape of Water' movie won four out of 13 awards. Best Picture, Best Director (Guillermo del Toro), Best Original Music score, and Best Production Design were the accolades that the movie won. Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri won for best supporting actor (Sam Rockwell) and best actress (Frances McDormand). Allison Janney won best supporting actress for her stellar performance, in 'I, Tonya.' Gary Oldman won best actor for his impressive performance as Winston Churchill, in 'The Darkest Hour.' Then, there were other big movies that won equally important awards like 'Get Out'; 'Dunkirk;' and 'Blade Runner 2049.' It would have been great to see 'Dunkirk' win best picture, but the movie won three awards for sound mixing; sound editing; and film editing. In terms of TV ratings, the 90th Academy awards show was watched by 20% fewer viewers than last year's show. The show last 230 minutes, or 10 minutes short of 4 hours. This timeframe means it's like you are watching the super bowl, but with ads that don't cost $5 million for 30 seconds. There were some funny parts, of the show outside of Kimmel's monologue. If your speech went over 2 minutes, Kimmel mentioned that there would be a black man yelling 'get out' for you to finish. Instead of Casey Affleck presenting the best actress award, two talented academy award winners (Jennifer Lawrence and Jodie Foster) presented the award to Frances McDormand. This move by the Academy was the right one indeed. All in all, the show was a good one. Kudos to ABC! Enjoy the picture above of Sam Rockwell, Frances McDormand, Allison Janney, and Gary Oldman. Good night everyone.
