Best Picture: What film do you think will win?

I have a twisted sense of humor, so I hope they have Steve Harvey present the Oscar (TM) for Best Picture.

...I'm guessing The Shape of Water, simply because it and Dunkirk are the only two Best Picture nominees also nominated in the Director and Editing categories -- and most BP winners also win both of those.

In the past five years, only Birdman won Best Picture with the most nominations. That does not necessarily bode well for Shape of Water. Birdman is also the only Best Picture winner in the past five years to also win Best Director. If you take a longer view, you're correct. So the question is whether the longer history or recent trends prevail.

It was the front runner as far as I know for most of the year.
