the three films you discuss are terrific, and we agree that they are probably the leaders. we’d be happy with any of the three. but, objectively, “the shape of water” is the most breathtaking film. all the nominated films are good, and we’d see them each again, but several are plainly at a “lower” level. the only one that made us shake our heads is “the phantom thread”, which benefits from daniel day lewis’ acting but otherwise is seriously flawed.

I wouldn’t be upset if any of the nominated films win, except for The Post and Darkest Hour.

I really hope The Shape of Water doesn’t win Best Picture. It’s pretty but it’s also incredibly shallow and conventional. I’d really like to see Dunkirk or Phantom Thread turning the tables and taking the big prizes.
