The Winners of the 2018 Oscar Awards have been officially announced by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. The Host for the 9th iteration of The Oscars was Jimmy Kimmel. He returned to host the prestigious ceremony for another time after last year’s infamous stint at the Oscars which saw La La Land being wrongfully declared the Winner for Best Motion Picture before Moonlight was declared to be the actual winner of the award.
Last year saw a wave of controversies engulf Hollywood in its entirety. The Harvey Weinsten Scandal spread like wildfire and destroyed the one time Media Mogul and reduced him into a shadow of his former self. The sexual allegations gripped Hollywood to the core. The #MeToo campaign revealed several Hollywood personalities of prominence in the Industry – writers, directors, actors and producers all being alleged serial sexual offenders. For relatable reasons, the Award shows were more about the recent mass movements being currently in force in H-Town than the movies itself. In more ways than one, the movements were even more famous than the movies that were actually nominated for the Oscars.
This year’s Oscar Ceremony marked the breaking of stereotypes and reinforcing certain old ones. A lot of the movies and actors nominated deserved to win the Oscar in their respective categories. But there can only be one. Let us see if your favorite or favorites made it to the Stage. Presenting The Oscars 2018: Winners List – The Good, the Bad and the Ugly…..
