Hello good evening and welcome to the 90th Academy Awards assumes David Frost voice which are due to get under way in a few hours time in Los Angeles. As we drum our fingers and twiddle our thumbs this is a good time to reflect on what surely is a landmark Oscars after a year of turbulence and sea change in Hollywood: the downfall of Harvey Weinstein the emergence of Times Up and red-carpet blackouts and the thrilling rise of diversity at the multiplex. The consensus is that this year s best picture Oscar has boiled down to a two-horse race between The Shape of Water and Three Billboards Outside Ebbing Missouri the former edging ahead despite the latter winning the equivalent award at the Baftas and coming out on top at the Globes. The other headline awards look like they ll be dead certs: the money is on Gary Oldman for Darkest Hour Frances McDormand for Three Billboards and Sam Rockwell and Alison Janney for the supporting actor nods. Shape heads the nominations count with 13 but if the Baftas are anything to go by no one film will sweep the board. Here s the full list to peruse. As usual your hardworking Guardian team will be on the case covering the red carpet the ceremony and the aftermath. Here are a few pointers as to what to look out for some final predictions and a timetable. Timetable After last year s hopelessness the whole thing has been brought forward half an hour. We ll be launching our live blog at 2:30pm PT 5:30pm ET 10.30pm GMT and 9.30am (Monday) AEDT for live coverage from the red carpet rolling news galleries analysis and comment taking in the ceremony which starts at 5pm PT 8pm ET 1am (Monday) GMT and 12noon (Monday) AEDT and the aftermath. Final predictions Guardian writers have been busily analysing the chances of each of the best picture nominees while Stuart Heritage has cast a beady eye over the annual For Your Consideration adverts. The Guardian s chief film critic Peter Bradshaw also has had his say. And here s our final best guess on how it will go down. Best picture The Shape of WaterBest director Guillermo del Toro The Shape of WaterBest actor Gary Oldman Darkest HourBest actress Frances McDormand Three Billboards Outside Ebbing MissouriBest supporting actor Sam Rockwell Three Billboards Outside Ebbing MissouriBest supporting actress Allison Janney I TonyaBest original screenplay Get OutBest adapted screenplay Call Me By Your NameBest documentary Faces PlacesBest original song This Is Me The Greatest ShowmanBest animated feature CocoBest foreign language film A Fantastic Woman What you need to know The Harvey Weinstein scandal still rolling on casts its shadow over these Oscars: not the least because more than anywhere this was his fiefdom. This year he won t be in attendance and as our writer Hadley Freeman points out the Oscars have a chance to change direction. Meanwhile last year s almighty fiasco seems like small beer in comparison but the powers that be are still taking no chances: they have banned backstage tweeting by the officials handing over the winners envelopes. Efforts to make the Oscar voting pool more diverse seem to be slowly paying off with best picture nominations for Get Out Call Me By Your Name and Lady Bird. We heard from some of the Oscar pioneers including Rachel Morrison the first-ever female nominee for cinematography and took a special look at best supporting actress nominee Mary J Blige. The new mood still hasn t stopped some of the nominated films miring themselves in controversy: Three Billboards has been accused of dodgy racial politics Call Me By Your Name of promoting underage sex and Shape of Water film-makers are being sued for plagiarism. One bit of positive news: after vociferous complaints over the exclusion of female directors from the Golden Globe list the Oscars managed to right the wrong by voting Greta Gerwig through in the best director category. To be honest Guillermo del Toro is the nailed-down winner for this one striking (yet another) blow for Mexican film-makers. Nobody s sure what will happen on the red carpet; after the Globe and Bafta blackouts will the Oscars follow suit? The Guardian s fashion team have taken the temperature. Making the best of a bad thing: Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway are returning to present the best picture award. We trust they ll be a bit more careful this time. Someone who won t be showing up: Kareem Abeed producer of Last Men in Aleppo (nominated for best documentary) who was denied a visa by US authorities. Here s the film s director Feras Fayyad on the hostility his film has provoked. Our music maestro has made his way through the full best song list; read the verdict here. Some Oscar history: the strangest nominations (George Bernard Shaw? Me neither) and the ongoing debate over whether 2004 winner Crash really was the worst ever. Everyone likes a snub too. What happened at the epic class photo picture shoot at the nominees lunch. No one mention the cutout. The Australian and British contenders if that s your thing. The always schadenfreudery rundown of the films that tried but failed to get on the Oscar radar. And finally: the 2018 Oscars in numbers. Oscar numbers 1 Oscar numbers 2 All you need now is your Oscar bingo card. Eyes down!

Marvel s Agents of SHIELD 9pm E4 As the Marvel Cinematic Universe has evolved its small-screen companion series centred on straight-arrow Phil Coulson and his sarcastic cadre of secret agents has increasingly seemed sidelined. This feature-length season-five opener appears to embrace the show s under-the-radar status with an oblique opening montage soundtracked by Talking Heads that climaxes with most of the cast marooned in outer space on a rickety spaceship infested with hungry aliens. The intriguing result is more Black Mirror than Red Skull. Graeme Virtue Hold the Sunset 7.30pm BBC One Given the cracking cast which includes Alison Steadman Jason Watkins and Anne Reid it is a shame that this comedy isn t funnier. Tonight Edith (Steadman) is trying to book a holiday while her son Roger (Watkins) gets a surprising offer from his wife that forces him to ponder the meaning of life. Hannah Verdier Call the Midwife 8pm BBC One Another week another emotional episode of a show that has truly honed its ratings-grabbing mix of fact and fiction. Dr Turner tries to help a teen from a remand home and doctor patient confidentiality swiftly breached Shelagh assists his pregnant girlfriend. Meanwhile Barbara remains in a critical condition. Hannah J Davies Churchill s Secret Affair 8pm Channel 4 Winston Churchill had plenty on his plate in the 1940s. In addition to trying to win a war he was managing the potentially explosive fallout from an affair with mildly scandalous socialite (and great aunt of Cara Delevingne) Doris Castlerosse. This intriguing and eventually slightly melancholy doc explores their dalliance. Phil Harrison Strike Career of Evil 9pm BBC One The workaday sleuther concludes its two-parter hobbled by the scenes with Holliday Grainger and Tom Burke apart being so inferior to the ones in which they re together. The PI as minor celeb is a Sherlockian motif; for keen-eyed viewers the attempt to ape a more specific Sherlock trick is fatally too obvious.

Photograph: Kevork Djansezian/Getty Images This year s Oscars should see big wins for Guillermo del Toro s gorgeous The Shape of Water Dunkirk and Three Billboards Outside Ebbing Missouri. If Frances McDormand doesn t win best actress for the latter a robbery will have been committed. Fingers crossed for Get Out too. Ali Catterall Film choice Wyatt Earp 12.50pm Channel 5A handsome account of the great lawman sturdily played by Kevin Costner. It has the rich texture of history in the making and makes a hell of a battle out of the infamous gunfight at the OK Corral. Among the starry cast are Gene Hackman as big daddy Earp and Dennis Quaid as the tubercular Doc Holliday.
