Literally everyone on /r/movies. Nobody is talking about Shape of Water being a directorial achievment. Apparently he deserved it for being wholesome and loving cinema.MeLVaNoaTe wrote: ↑March 5th, 2018, 7:22 amHappy for Lee Smith. Still can't believe he didn't get nominated for Inception.
The most baffling thing for me about Del Toro's win is that all some people are saying is that he's a nice guy and he deserves it.

This man speaks some truth.Vader182 wrote: ↑March 5th, 2018, 2:13 pmThe Shape of Water is, if nothing else, directorially amazing. It's a feat of vision and originality, and the fact GDT tricked audiences into believing his very strange fetish film B-movie is a Sirkian love story is kind of insane in the best way possible. And that the man who made it is delightful and as lovely can be added to the whole thing.
Shape of Water isn't my shit at all, but acting like it's this safe, boring, predictably obvious movie is completely insane. Even after it got raves out of Venice (I think), nobody thought it'd find an audience / get major awards. Shape of Water's pull happened slowly.
