Moonlight is 100x better than this.
shareShape of Water is definitely not the worst movie to win best picture. Cavalcade is the worst. Also, The Greatest Show on Earth, Tom Jones, Marty, Oliver, Ordinary People, Slumdog Millionaire, Shakespeare in Love, Titanic, Rocky, The Hurt Locker, and Chicago are not as good as Shape of Water and they all won best picture.
shareI forgot about Shakespeare In Love and Slumdog Millionaire. 😂
shareAnd oh god.. Chicago.
But I'm so baised against musicals I can never tell if they're actually good movies underneath all that. I have tried to like musicals. I just can't.

I just can't. The closest I get to "musicals" is This Is Spinal Tap, and that does't really count.
I haven't seen The Music Man, but it really doesn't matter about the quality of actors or even the music. As soon as they break into song, I'm out.
I bailed out of The Wizard of Oz.
Could. Not.
My friends have even tried the cool ones, like Jesus Christ Superstar and Hair and all that. CANNOT.
I think, though...I MIGHT be able to handle The Rocky Horror Picture Show because Tim Curry is just barrier-breaking awesome.

It's not surprising that I'd hate musicals though. Because while I like drama in my music, and while it can be bombastic even, it's never operatic. And sometimes things don't have to be a literal opera to be operatic. It's that that I run the other way with.
shareI disagree hugely. I don't know about Oliver or The Hurt Locker, but some of the other ones including Rocky, Marty, and Ordinary People are definitely way better than The Shape of Water.

There is so much wrong with this movie. It just shows that the voters don't have the ability to know anything about the industry they work in.
shareMoonlight was last year, and it did win
