Hollywood’s biggest night has arrived.
The 90th Annual Academy Awards ceremony is taking place under the shadows of the #MeToo and Time’s Up campaigns, and with echoes of last year’s historical Best Picture blunder still lingering, it’s safe to say it’s not the best time in the industry.
The Oscars ceremony, to be hosted again by late-night host Jimmy Kimmel, will be the crescendo of one of Hollywood’s most tumultuous awards seasons ever — one that saw cascading allegations of sexual harassment topple movie moguls, upended Oscar campaigns and new movements launched to improve gender equality throughout the industry.

Just as Seth Meyers did at the Globes, Kimmel will have a particularly steep challenge balancing a night of celebration for a Hollywood still reeling with shame and regret over “open secret” behaviour that for years went unpunished in a largely male-dominated industry. In December, the film academy unveiled its first code of conduct.
While the night’s acting categories are widely expected to go to Frances McDormand (“Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri”), Gary Oldman (“Darkest Hour”), Allison Janney (“I, Tonya”) and Sam Rockwell (“Three Billboards”), the lengthy season hasn’t produced a clear best-picture favourite.
Guillermo del Toro’s monster fable “The Shape of Water” comes in with leading 13 nominations, but many peg Martin McDonagh’s darkly comic revenge drama “Three Billboards” as the front-runner despite the film’s divisiveness among critics. And still, many aren’t counting out Jordan Peele’s horror sensation “Get Out” or Christopher Nolan’s World War II epic “Dunkirk”, which is expected to dominate the technical categories.

The field is made up largely of modest independent film successes except for the box-office phenomenon “Get Out” (US$255 million worldwide after opening on Oscar weekend 2017) and “Dunkirk” (US$255 million).
