The 2017 Oscar Season continues to morph and change.

What first appeared to be a race focusing on The Post, Lady Bird, Call Me By Your Name, and The Shape of Water as the main Best Picture contenders has now expanded.

The Boston Society of Film Critics has added Paul Thomas Anderson‘s Phantom Thread to the mix by naming it the year’s Best Film. This follows the D.C. Critics who recently cited Get Out as their Best Pic choice.

Boston also tagged Anderson as Best Director, his first notice this year in that category, for his 1950s tale of an obsessive clothing designer, played by Daniel Day-Lewis.

Guillermo del Toro‘s The Shape of Water was the runner-up in both the Picture and Director categories, while his lead Sally Hawkins won another Best Actress prize. That category remains very competitive, one that now also includes Phantom Thread‘s Vicky Krieps; she was Boston’s runner-up choice to Hawkins.

The BSFC broke from the season’s trends in the Best Actor category as well, possibly helping the lead from Get Out to get in – to the Academy Awards, that is. Daniel Kaluuya, the newcomer in the horror racism allegory Get Out, was won that Actor prize; it’s his first win of the season, boosting his Oscar prospects.

The relevant thriller’s writer/director Jordan Peele took the org’s Best New Filmmaker prize, but lost to Greta Gerwig‘s Lady Bird for Best Screenplay.

Willem Dafoe and Laurie Metcalf remain the odds-on favorites in the Supporting Actor/Actress categories as they each notch another wins for their movies, respectively, The Florida Project and Lady Bird.

Here are the BSFC’s full list of winners and runners-up.
