Here are all the Academy’s biggest blunders in one handy list.

Hollywood stars put blood, sweat and tears into their Oscar acceptance speeches. But what should they say? How to strike the balance between humble and I-was-born-to-shine? Luckily, plenty of Oscar winners have gone before them, showing us how to give a winning Academy Award speech.

So we've gone from a year of total drama and #EnvelopeGate to none at all: Things went exactly as predicted at the 90th Annual Academy Awards, with no true upsets (except perhaps for 'Icarus' winning Best Documentary over heavy favourite 'Faces Places'). We'll have some analysis in the coming hours, but first, here's a complete list of winners: Best Picture'The Shape of Water' Best DirectorGuillermo del Toro, 'The Shape of Water' Best ActorGary Oldman, 'Darkest Hour' Best ActressFrances McDormand, 'Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri' Best Supporting ActorSam Rockwell, 'Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri' Best Supporting ActressAllison Janney, 'I, Tonya' Best Adapted Screenplay'Call Me by Your Name' Best Original Screenplay'Get Out' Best Animated Feature'Coco' Best Documentary Feature'Icarus' Best Foreign Language Film'A Fantastic Woman' Best Cinematography'Blade Runner 2049' Best Costume Design'Phantom Thread' Best Film Editing'Dunkirk' Best Makeup and Hairstyling'Darkest Hour' Best Original Score'The Shape of Water' Best Original Song'Remember Me', 'Coco' Best Production Design'The Shape of Water' Best Sound Editing'Dunkirk' Best Sound Mixing'Dunkirk' Best Visual Effects'Blade Runner 2049' Best Animated Short'Dear Basketball' Best Documentary Short'Heaven Is a Traffic Jam on the 405' Best Live Action Short'The Silent Child'

The big night is almost upon us – and thank Faye Dunaway for making last year such a riot. Our personal favorites – such as ‘Call Me by Your Name’, ‘Phantom Thread’ and ‘I, Tonya’ – are well represented, so the show itself won’t be all that painful. Still, we’re praying for an envelope mix-up or two. Here’s how we think the winners (and should be winners) will pan out. Best Picture What will win? It looks like Guillermo del Toro will add to his pile of ‘Pan’s Labyrinth’ Oscars with ‘The Shape of Water’, his much-loved romantic fantasy. Many of AMPAS’ 774 new voting members are non-English speakers, which bodes well for a movie that features a silent love affair. What should win? ‘Phantom Thread’’s nomination was something of a surprise to begin with, but how we would scream if Paul Thomas Anderson actually drank everyone’s milkshake. He’s already made two masterpieces (‘Boogie Nights’, ‘There Will Be Blood’) and is long overdue for the Oscars’ biggest prize.What was overlooked? Elsewhere represented by nominations for Best Actress, Best Supporting Actress and Best Editing, ‘I, Tonya’ somehow didn’t make the bracket, which is a shame. It’s an incredible feat of production, mustering ’90s period detail and significant digital work on a tiny budget. Also, it’s as fun as ‘Goodfellas’.         Paul Thomas Anderson, director of 'Phantom Thread' (Pal Hansen, Getty Images)Best DirectorWho will win?Again, it’s Shape of Water’s Del Toro, eliciting sensitive performances in a hig
