Nominated in thirteen categories, The Shape of Water won Oscars for Best Production Design, Best Original Score, Best Director, and the pinnacle of filmmaking, Best Picture.
Prior to appearing in The Shape of Water, British actress Sally Hawkins already had an award-winning acting career spanning continents.
This is where The Shape of Water succeeds, converting even the staunchest critics into romantics, enamored by the couple’s beautifully-told unlikely story.
The plot of the movie, as well as the dialogue, is so special compared to the usual blockbuster hits or indie fare of today.
