“The Shape of Water” won the Oscar, because it’s a veritable checklist of Hollywood’s favorite progressive agenda items. It advocates for the disenfranchised, it slams the Soviet communists—all good. But folks? I’m drawing the line at transspecies carnality! Or is it interspecies? Yeah, interspecies. I’m not having it. In 2018, bestiality wins the Oscar. Metaphor, schmetaphor: Can we get literal for a minute?
