Although it seems like we keep writing this same article over and over again, the point still needs to be made about why predicting a Best
Picture winner with the preferential ballot can be so tricky.
They believe themselves immune to it but trust me, there is a dividing line, which is the main reason there hasn't been a Best
Picture winner with a female lead since Million Dollar Baby in 2004.
However despite those major differences, for the past four years running the Spirit Award has shared its Best
Picture winner with the Academy Awards: «12 Years a Slave» (with 2013 in consideration), «Birdman» (2014), «Spotlight» (2015), and «Moonlight» (2016).
The fact that The Shape of Water was the first Best
Picture winner with a female protagonist since Million Dollar Baby 13 years ago alone is something to decry and applaud in equal measure.

«Moonlight,» a drama about a gay black youth coming to terms
with his sexuality in an impoverished Miami neighbourhood, received the Oscar for best

winner of last night's Oscar for Best
Picture, Birdman, was only the 82nd best - grossing film of 2014,
