The Shape of Water has won Best Picture, the film industry's most prestigious honour, at the 90th Oscars.

The Fox Searchlight movie's Mexican filmmaker, Guillermo del Toro, took home the Best Director Oscar, dashing the hopes of a rare win by a woman or a black filmmaker.

The movie about a mute cleaning woman who falls in love with a strange river creature had gone into the ceremony with a leading 13 nominations, and won a total of four Academy Awards.

As expected, Britain's Gary Oldman was named Best Actor for playing World War II leader Winston Churchill in Warner Bros' Darkest Hour, while Frances McDormand's woman-in-a-fury was a popular Best Actress winner for Fox Searchlight's dark comedy Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri.
