Oscars 2018: Winners Include Kobe Bryant, ‘Coco,’ Allison Janney and Jordan Peele for ‘Get Out’
The 90th Academy Awards were held Sunday in a show that celebrated diversity through speeches, touched on social movements shaking Hollywood and broader American society and delivered some history-making wins.
Opened by host Jimmy Kimmel, the ceremony kicked off at 5 p.m. at Dolby Theater in Hollywood. The night’s top prize went to “The Shape of Water” when it won Best Picture. And some other wins came with a fiery speech, like the one given by Best Actress winner Frances McDormand when she told all the female nominees to stand together at once.
Given societal themes preceding this year’s event — particularly the #MeToo and Time’s Up movements as part of a growing tide of awareness of sexual harassment and assault — there were some more political tones from the start.

Kimmel’s opening monologue touched on Hollywood’s own recent and ongoing reckoning with sexual abuse in light of the Harvey Weinstein allegations and following waves of accusations. He drove across support for the progressive movements that have sprouted up in response — in between jokes.
“The world is watching us. We need to set an example,” Kimmel said. “And the truth is, if we are successful here, if we can work together to stop sexual harassment in the workplace, if we can do that, women will only have to deal with harassment all the time in every other place they go.”
Actresses Ashely Judd, Salma Hayek and Annabella Sciorra, who have all accused Weinstein of sexual misconduct, joined each other on stage and presented a video montage honoring men and women who have pushed past discriminating barriers in their craft.
“We salute those unstoppable spirits who kicked a** and broke through the bias perceptions against their gender, their race and ethnicity to tell their stories,” Hayek said.
The evening held some other moments of political advocacy, too, such as a message of support Lupita Nyong’o and Kumail Nanjiani offered to Dreamers — or recipients of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals immigration program — while presenting the award for best production design.

“To all the Dreamers out there, we stand with you,” Nanjiani said.
Later in the evening, writer-director Jordan Peele made history by becoming the first African-American to win the Oscar for Best Original Screenplay after being awarded for “Get Out,” the Washington Post reported.
