Shape of Water has no chance of winning best picture. 

Thanks for the information, but it has a strong chance at getting a best picture nomination, and it's already predicted as a frontrunner too. 

 

Plus if not that, then Three Billboards has a strong chance as well, especially since it won top prize at TIFF. It has been a great year for Fox Searchlight, was basically my point.

Nice of you to clarify that for us. 

[MrPink]

There doesn't seem to be a clear cut front runner, but Dunkirk and Shape of Water both seem like the most likely possibilities as of now.

 

[Rumpot]

These reviews don't come close to dissuading me from watching this...in fact a lot of specific things they are ragging on sound good to me

Shape of Water is a front runner right now if anything

Dunkirk is currently considered one of the front-runner by a lot of pundits. I've been predicting it would win director for a while now, myself.

I mean, it's a front runner right now, but I also don't expect it to win come Oscar time? Dunkirk and Shape of Water seem like movies that are absolutely contending, but at the same time, it doesn't feel like a La La Land, where when it screened, you knew it had a really good shot at winning regardless of whatever came out in the upcoming months

Dunkirk is pretty much in for a Best Picture nomination and unless the Academy decides they just want to troll the Internet and never nominate Nolan, he'll be up for Best Director too.

That I have no doubt of. I just don't think it's gonna win BP. Maybe Director.

I don't think it'll win best picture. Best director is possible, but it seems like it's actually a fairly competitive line-up in that particular category this year. So far there are no definite "absolutes" like last year to be sure.

The Shape of Water has much stronger reviews though.  Not to say Three Billboards isn't in the race though, because it is

[WrathOfHan]

Tomatometer is down to 76% with a 6.1 average while Meta is at 54. I don't know if this is staying fresh.

The Shape of Water is too genre for the Academy. A BP nomination? Sure. The win? GTFOH. And before anyone shoots back with Silence of the Lambs or Return of the King, those are the exceptions to the rule. Hell even after the blowback for The Dark Knight's perceived snub (when the real snub was, in fact, Wall-E), there still hasn't been a superhero film to get a nomination.

Yeah, I loved the film but Shape of Water ain't winning. Too many safer choices.

Maybe because none of them really deserve one
