Oscars results: Get Out, Timothée Chalamet and Greta Gerwig were robbed

No Best Picture win for subversive horror-comedy Get Out. Gary Oldman’s impression of Winston Churchill triumphed over Timothée Chalamet’s vibrant, star-making turn in Call Me By Your Name. And not a sausage for Greta Gerwig or her knockout coming-of-age film Lady Bird. Suffice it to say, we’re pretty bummed out here in the Skinny office at many of the Oscar results, particularly our Film editor, who had a tenner on each of the above to upset the odds and pick up awards last night.

There's a glimmer of a silver lining with The Shape of Water snatching Best Picture from the hands of the bookies’ longtime favourite, Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri. And fair play to Guillermo del Toro’s film. This dreamy fable about a mute woman who falls for a fish man she meets in the government facility in which she works does not look like your typical Oscar bait; for starters it features interspecies sex. But there are plenty of other out-there elements – body horror, cat decapitation and a protagonist with a daily routine that includes masturbating in the tub while boiling enough eggs for a remake of Cool Hand Luke – that suggest Oscar voters' idea of what constitutes a Best Picture winner is changing.

In most other respects, the Oscars played out pretty much as planned, particularly in the acting categories. Best Actor went to Gary Oldman (Darkest Hour), Best Supporting Actress to Allison Janney (I, Tonya) and Frances McDormand and Sam Rockwell won Best Actress and Best Supporting Actor respectively for Three Billboards.

These two acting awards proved to be the only prizes handed out to Three Billboards last night, and that feels right. Martin McDonagh’s film was adored by many critics, but the performances are really all that’s worth recommending in this ugly, hateful, cartoonish movie – particularly the blistering turn by Frances McDormand, who gave the most rousing acceptance speech of the night when collecting her statuette.

From the stage McDormand compelled every female nominee to get to her feet – “Meryl [Streep], if you do it, everybody else will, come on!” She then asked everyone else in the room – particularly the money men – to take in these faces. “OK look around everybody... because we all have stories to tell and projects we need to finance. Don’t talk to us about it at the parties tonight, invite us into your office or come to ours, whatever suits you best, and we’ll tell you all about them.”

Some other wins last night cheered us up no end. Blistering horror-satire Get Out may not have won the big prize, but its writer-director Jordan Peele being awarded Best Original Screenplay was a pleasing consolation. We were also delighted to see veteran filmmaker James Ivory win Best Adapted Screenplay for Call Me By Your Name. Best Animated Film went to Pixar’s joyous Coco, the studio’s first Mexican-set feature, which was set among the explosive colour of an afterlife based on the Día de Muerto. Best Foreign Language Film went to the similarly vibrant A Fantastic Woman from Chile, which centres on an extraordinary performance by trans actress Daniela Vega. And for the great cinematographer Roger Deakins, it was 14th time's the charm by finally winning the Best Cinematography Oscar for his lensing of Blade Runner 2049.

So not all bad. And losers on the night like Chalamet and Gerwig can take heart the they’ve made work that will be remembered and rewatch long after dross like Darkest Hour and Three Billboards have faded from memory.
