Edward Haro, 11, gave his personal opinion about the movie The Shape of Water winning best picture on the awards next year.

“Even though I haven’t seen all of the movies nominates, I do think it deserved to win,” Haro said. “It was a really good movie and I really liked it.”

Keven Navarro, 12, talked about one of the nominees for best picture Call Me By Your Name and his appreciation of the awarness of the LGBTQ community showned in the awards this year.

“I honestly think that Call Me By Your Name could have won,” Navarro said. “I like how it talks about homosexuality there is a certain aesthetic that the movie and book has that is different from other type of movies.”

Jonathan Zaragoza, 12,  was asked if he was rooting for someone in particular to win their respective categories and this was his answer.

“Guillermo del Toro all the way, he helped me defined a lot of genre movies and I was also rooting for Baby Driver for best editing because I love Edgar Wright,” Zaragoza said. “I thinks it’s so unique and different from everyone else.”

The night was full of surprises and showed not only the winners of movies and their production but also it brought awareness about serious subjects such as women inclusion and acceptance of sexual preferences. In order to view the results on the rest of the categories click the following website.
