Guillermo del Toro's "The Shape of Water"

[Black Narcissus]

 

[Boom]

A Best Director race between Christopher Nolan and Guillermo Del Toro would be one of the greatest dilemmas of my life.

So pleased to see all the glowing reviews for this. Can't wait to see it.

Congratulations to GDT and crew for winning the Golden Lion at Venice. Here we go with the awards race!

The merman romance is an Oscar contender.

 

[Black Narcissus]

Bald Nolan gonna cry.

Guillermo joining his fellow mexican bros with that oscar.

 

[Eddie Dean]

And best picture goes to "I ****ed a Merman!"

 

[Matt Mortem]

That would be amazing if Del Toro got an Oscar for this. I'm glad he's becoming the critical darling once more.

 

[Silvermoth]

The oscars are irrelevant these days. GDT is better than them to be honest. They should be honoured by GDT not the other way around

It's another GDT fairy tale. I was on board the second I read the synopsis. This is so in his wheelhouse. Kinda hard to go wrong.

 

[Matt Mortem]

I'm really excited by all the praise Sally Hawkins is getting.

I wish more directors were allowed to choose the official posters for their own movies.

Did GDT get to pick that because it's beautiful, whimsical, and I think conveys all you need to know.

The same artist illustrated some incredible posters for "mother!" as well.

Speaking of that film, I went to see it tonight. The new redband trailer for Shape of Water that I had been previously avoiding played before it. Looks good.

Shannon is killing it in the newest trailer

 

[Silvermoth]

Gosh that poster is so beautiful it makes me think it's going to be this generations sleepy hollow in that the people who love it are fully obsessed by it

 

[scarlet-witch]

That poster and the newest trailer are great. I wonder if Shannon will be in the Oscar race again?

My review.

That poster and the newest trailer are great. I wonder if Shannon will be in the Oscar race again?

He's definitely being listed as a potential supporting actor nomination. He's pretty great as the villain, and definitely could receive an Oscar nom.

It'd be amazing if the "woman has sex with a mer-creature" film ended up getting a Best Picture nod. Also some in the GA squirm in their seats when they realize what's really going on could be quite amusing to witness.

Yeah...how the hell do they go about handling that in the movie. I guess we know just how much "man" compared to fish the merman is made up of. At least he's not sitting there impatiently waiting on her to lay her eggs so he can do his thang.
