“My next choice I think is going to be a surprise to people, which is The Shape of Water. I love Guillermo del Toro because he has this way of making monsters seem human and humans seem terrifying. And when I saw this, I was like, “Is that amphibian man hot?” Like, you understand why Sally Hawkins falls in love with this man. And the relationship between Octavia Spencer and Sally Hawkins in this movie is one of the most tender friendships, I think, in any film.”
