Siiiiiiiigh. There are so many films I liked last year, and yet every favorite to win is from a film I either didn't see or didn't like. Except for Shape of Water, which I still liked less than Get Out, Lady Bird, or CMBYN.https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/oscars-2018-here-are-our-final-predictions/ …
So I guess I default to Shape of Water, where the side characters are a white gay man and a straight black woman, and the main character is a disabled white woman who has sex with fish-creatures. (But the writer/director is a white-passing Mexican straight guy).
