The
90th Oscars were generally behaved with repeat host Jimmy Kimmel doing a solid
job again including a surprise visit to a nearby theater previewing A Wrinkle
in Time and shocking its audience with movie stars and snacks! He also had an
offer of jet skis for the shortest
speech!
The
show had its glamorous stars from yesteryear but was decidedly skewed younger
and more diverse, hence the message was clear-Hollywood is changing. There were
no outright soapbox moments save Best Actress Frances McDormand calling upon
all female nominees to stand and make themselves noticed.
My
picks were pretty right on except for a couple categories and Best Pic, and I
was suspecting the preferential vote for Best Picture going to Get Out (it got Best Original Screenplay). Instead, The Shape of Water, my personal
favorite, prevailed. And last year's presenters Faye Dunaway and Warren Beatty
got a do-over, nice touch. Now, on to more films to prep for the 91st Oscars!
