The 90th iteration of the Oscars has come and gone, and while predictable, subtle nods to the Time’s Up movement and Parkland shooting were sprinkled throughout the night. In general, the award show glided along sans drama, and avoiding any disastrous La La Land-esque mix up, the Oscar for best picture went to The Shape of Water.

Some were just glad it wasn’t Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri.

literally the only thing i could stand
so i'm ok
Others were disappointed.
We will look back on 2017 and think that Get Out was the best movie and not The Shape of Water. I can promise you that.

The Shape of Water sucked, I wish Warren Beatty had just said The Florida Project and ran off stage #Oscars

The film swept the award show, taking home three other Oscars including best production design, best score, and best director, which went to Guillermo del Toro.
