There were many historical wins at the 90th Academy Awards Sunday night. 

"The Shape of Water" captured the night's big prize as best picture beating out rivals "Dunkirk" and "Get Out."

A number of those on stage also referred to the #MeToo movement, including Kimmel, who hosted for the second straight year. The Academy Awards have attempted to celebrate its storied history, and also atone for some of the film industry's mistreatment of women and other groups.

Nostalgia, #MeToo and last year's mistaken envelope fiasco factored in heavily during Sunday's star-studded show.

Host Jimmy Kimmel said of the moment of cultural reckoning for inclusivity and sexual misconduct that the industry couldn't turn a blind eye to bad behavior anymore, telling the audience, "The world is watching us."

Jordan Peele's "Get Out" also placed him in the Oscar history books.

Peele was awarded in the the best original screenplay, making him the first black screenwriter to receive the honor.
