Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway show up to atone for last year's goof-up to announce Best Picture. And this time the envelope reads right and true to all of rediff.com's predictions, it's The Shape of Water.

It's Guillermo Del Toro day, alright. The exuberant filmmaker remembers the time director Steven Spielberg told him, "If you find yourself on the podium, you're part of the legacy."

He encourages filmmakers wanting to use fantasy to tell stories about all that's real in the world, it can be done.

Bravo, Del Toro.

Well done, Oscars 90. You've truly grown up.
