On Sunday, March 4, 2018, the 90th Academy Awards were held at the Dolby Theater in Hollywood, California. The night was filled with comedy and empowering speeches and performances. Video tributes of predominant films over the past 90 years were also played throughout the night.

Jimmy Kimmel was the host for the second year in a row. Kimmel was fearful of repeating a mistake similar to the Best Picture mix-up at last year’s ceremony and made many jokes about messing up again. Kimmel offered a jet ski as a prize for the shortest acceptance speech of the night, which was awarded to Mark Bridges (Costume Design, Phantom Thread) later in the evening.

The late night comedian’s largest act as host was going across the street to a theater full of unsuspecting “moviegoers”. Similar to a scheme conducted last year involving taking tourist into the Dolby Theater, Kimmel escorted a group of stars over to the theater of unsuspecting civilians to surprise them with snacks. These stars included Mark Hamill (actor), Lin-Manuel Miranda (song writer, actor), and Guillermo del Toro (director, writer, producer) among others. A fan in the theater was able to introduce the next presenters.

One of the big questions of the night was how often the winners and presenters would tip their hat to current movements in the entertainment industry, such as “Time’s Up”. Although there was some conversation about it, the most talked about and celebrated aspect of the Oscars this year was the diversity brought to the nominees and the amount of trailblazers present.

Timothée Chalamet (22; Call Me By Your Name) was the youngest person ever to be nominated for Actor in a Leading Role in 80 years.

More women were represented as nominees including the first woman to be nominated for Cinematography Rachel Morrison. Mary J. Blige was also the first woman to be nominated for acting and song in the same year. Additionally, female director Greta Gerwig was nominated for her work in Lady Bird. In Frances McDormand’s powerful acceptance speech (Lead actress), McDormand invites all of the female nominees to stand with her to be recognized, and leaves with the words “inclusion rider”.

The African American community received recognition in Get Out including the winner of Original Screenplay, Jordan Peele.

The films themselves covered more diverse topics from mute and deaf humans (The Shape of Water; The Silent Child) as well as homosexual relationships (Call Me By Your Name).

The Mexican community was also greatly represented in Coco (Animated Feature, Original Song “Remember Me”) along with Mexican filmmaker Guillermo del Toro (The Shape of Water: Directing and Best Picture). This year’s group of nominees and winners was one of the most diverse groups we’ve seen in a while.
