Here is the full list of the Oscar winners for 2018! Not a massive amount of surprises especially on the acting front, but I am so happy with The Shape of Water taking Best Picture!
Call Me by Your Name
Darkest Hour

I think this looks like it is going to be a good movie (I saw the trailer in the cinema last week, will find it soon and post it). Taraji P. Henson looks like she has put in another fantastic performance to follow her Oscar nom for Benjamin Button. Well here is the poster:
