90th Academy Awards

90th Academy Awards


Broadcast Date: 5th March 2018 - Australia


Hello everyone, and let's make this quick. There is some breaking news, the announcement of the nominations for this year's Oscar ceremony. This year's host will be Jimmy Kimmel, who previously hosted the last Oscar presentation. One particular film I'm hoping will be qualified to win most of the awards, including Best Picture, is the historical war drama Dunkirk. I prefer this picture over Guillermo del Toro's The Shape of Water, which has the most Oscar nominations in the ceremony.

Here is the list of nominees for each category as they are selected to win each award.
