The Shape of Water came just shy of tying the record of 14 nominations shared by All About Eve, Titanic and La La Land.

The announcements were also seen as an opportunity for the industry to support female filmmaking, with the #MeToo and Time’s Up campaigns against sexual misconduct and gender inequality a mainstay of the 2018 awards circuit.
