Guillermo Del Toro has become a definite focus point in the Hollywood spotlight recently. He won a golden globe and now an Oscar in directing in his film, The Shape of Water, that made a large influence on the awards. This is the first Oscar for Del Toro but most likely not the last. In his speech you can clearly see the reason for his win on directing and then also taking the best picture award as well. His speech was no doubt emotional, as are most acceptance speeches, but it had another, bigger emotion behind it.
Although I am not a fan of the movie the Shape of Water, I do believe that Guillermo Del Toro deserved his win for best director. This is because directing has so much more to do with the tone of a movie than the actual script. The movie is no doubt bold and unique but this comes from the directing more so than the writing, in my opinion. It is clear that Del Toro has a true passion for film and the work he does. This is shown both through the emotion conveyed in the movie but it is also evident in his acceptance speech. Del Toro is choked up upon delivering his speech and goes on to talk about his life and what obstacles he faced to make it to where he is now, as explained further in the article. His passion is shown through his excitement and hard work for his movie and it is clear that he did deserve this Oscar win. He wishes to inspire other young filmmakers in hope that they will find the same love and passion for the art as he has.
