When it comes to films at the Oscars, at the end of the day, there can be only one! Sure, there are awards handed out for a bunch of categories, only one film can win the biggest prize: “Best Picture!”
The Oscar went to The Shape of Water, a film winning four awards this year! Other candidates included Call Me by Your Name, Darkest Hour, Dunkirk, Get Out, Lady Bird, Phantom Thread, The Post and Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri.
