Little gold men, red envelopes and Hollywoods biggest night.

Stars packed into the Dolby Theater in Los Angeles on Sunday for the 90th Academy Awards . Hosted for a second time by late-night favorite Jimmy Kimmel, this years ceremony was the first Oscars to air in the wake of Hollywoods recent reckoning with sexual harassment and assault .

Guillermo del Toros ravishing romantic fantasy The Shape of Water led the pack with 13 nominations, and ended the night with four wins, including Best Director and Best Picture. It was the first sci-fi movie ever to win the award.

The genre-defying Get Out , certainly the most timely of the films up for Best Picture, also scored four nominations. Director Jordan Peele became the first black director to win for Best Original Screenplay.

Not every award was groundbreaking, though. Timothe Chalamet failed to upset the expected winner, actor Gary Oldman, for his star turn in the sumptuous Call Me By Your Name. The 22-year-old would have been the youngest Best Actor honoree in almost 80 years.

Movie fans also had their eyes out for the typically male-dominated Best Director category shoutout to Natalie Portman which included relative newcomers Peele and Greta Gerwig competing against industry stalwarts like Steven Spielberg and Paul Thomas Anderson. The award ultimately went to del Toro.

Check out the complete list of winners below.
