A Best Picture nomination is now officially in the conversation for ‘The Way of Water.’ There’s really no other way of putting it. We just have a very weak slate of contending films this year. Also, this is the type of movie that will make money, get good reviews and have a narrative built around people going back to theaters. It’s a movie event and the industry desperately wants (and needs) to support that. I’m only set to watch it next Monday. There is a review embargo set until Tuesday, December 13th at noon (the day prior the Golden Globe nominations are announced). However, social media reactions are allowed today after 6pm ET. This is the last remaining, supposed, Best Picture contender left to be screened. You know the drill, I’ll be updating this post as reactions start to trickle in on Twitter. Contribute Hire me
