in handing out the best picture oscar to the shape of water, the academy has perpetuated a trend of oftento a less well seen, independent or arthouse film. the shape of water's takings have been modest compared to a blockbuster. less than $60 million in the us. moonlight, which won best picture last year, took in just $28 million domestically. the year before it was spotlight which grossed m5 million at the us box office. none of these films are blockbusters, they are movies with modest box office ambitions made on small budgets. i think that movies that do really well at the oscars are original movies and original movies are risky and risky movies tend to get low budgets. so small budgeted films tend to do well at the oscars. the last time the academy gave the best picture prize to a true hollywood blockbuster was with the lord of the rings: the return of the king back in 200a. many academy voters work on hollywood blockbusters but perhaps one reason they tend to vote for smaller films is because these movies conform to their image of what an oscar—winning film should be. it's always bes

number 2 i have ended up winning best picture was "the shape of water." of these three that we say here, "get out," "the shape of water," and "three billboards" were very well deserving of the oscar here. but "the shape of water" was well deserving. guillermo del toro did such a wonderful job. "three billboards" i thought should have won just because it told such a complete story. you were able to see that, right? >> right. that's the only one. i want to see "get out" and the other one. what i didn't like is in the end subject to interpretation. either way it was a great film. >> still fun doing it too. >> ready for next year. >> that's right. >> stay with us. more news straighthead on "e aarad lib live picture-- san francisco it is monday morning and it's a chilly one. we are looking live at san francisco right now and you might not want to get out of bed just yet. stay with us here. this is "today in the bay." thanks so much for joining us, i'm kris sanchez, in for laura garcia. >> and i'm marcus washington. this morning it is a chilly one out there. i

rob reynolds is in los angeles a covering the event for so rob a big night for the shape of water what one of the main headlines there. well the headline as you as you mentioned the best picture and best director both captured by the shape of water kind of an unusual pick for the academy its membership traditionally thought to be rather conservative this is an offbeat movie it's after all a story about a woman who falls in love with a fifty and humanoid but perhaps shows some of the changes that have been going on in the academy because the academy has been expanding its membership it's been retiring some of the older members trying to get the more women or minorities more diversity and so you see you know in the in the nominations this year in it brought a girl weeks ladybird for the first you know female director in several years to be nominated in get out tremendous. black. themed racially themed. film a horror film about the white supremacy so a lot of changes in the academy you know will take a time a considerable amount of time to bear fruit but i think you're seeing some of the
