2.) Best Direction
Every year thousands of movie touches our hearts but there are some movies whose direction is just spot on. It's a given fact that direction is the heart and soul of any movie. Without any proper direction, the movie or anything strays away from its objective.
This year the nominees were, Guillermo del Toro, Christopher Nolan, Jordan Peele, Greta Gerwig, and Paul Thomas Anderson. One can easily tell, of all the names in the nominees, Christopher Nolan stands out the most.
Probably because of his numerous blockbuster movies, but this time it was different. Guillermo del Toro won the award by a far margin for his direction in the movie, The Shape of Water.
Toro was also the director of the movie, The Revenant for which Leonardo DiCaprio won his first ever Oscar back in 2016.

One of the most prestigious and waited awards of all year. There are thousands of films which easily deserve an award and then there are some like The Shape of Water, which just easily wins over your heart.
