Just when you think you've got this Oscar race figured out, the Critics Choice throws up a surprise. While it seemed like "Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri" might steamroll through the season, it was "The Shape of Water" that came out on top last night. Guillermo del Toro's fantasy romance won Best Picture, Best Director, Best Production Design and Best Original Score to clinch the most awards. I'm now starting to think it can go all the way. Up next is the big one - the Oscar nominations! Until then, here are this year's winners of the Critics Choice Awards:
