Here's the article: http://awardswatch.com/2017/08/18/is-the-shape-of-water-cribbed-directly-from-the-short-film-the-space-between-us/ I think that the short film and Toro' s film seem pretty different. They're a little similar, yes, but I don't think this is plagiarism if Toro has had his idea since before Pacific Rim. However, people these days believe what they want to believe without looking further into it. Do I want them to raise their pitchforks? No. Might they? Unfortunately, it's pretty likely.

Yeah, someone obsessed trying to secure a place for Wonder Woman or Logan in the fold will attempt to did this, probably. indeed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filmlover Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 I wonder if Wind River could gain traction. It's gonna be Harvey's backup option behind The Current War now that Mary Magdalene has moved to next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Gittes Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 It doesn't have a shot at anything else other than screenplay, and even that would be completely undeserved. (Opinions and all, yeah, but I can't see it.) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filmlover Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 After seeing the movie, I'm surprised Jeremy Renner's not getting more Oscar buzz for his work. He would be just as worthy of a nom as Jeff Bridges in Hell or High Water last year, even though the latter is obviously much more of a career legend.

Because lead actor is a really thought and competitive category usually (and harder to have some oscar buzz for it). Fox/Patrick Stewart started is campaign for best supporting in Logan for example, I doubt Jackman have much expectation in comparison.
