The record holder in the number of nominations for this award, "Oscar", the film "Form of water" by Mexican director Guillermo del Toro was in the center of the scandal.

So, the descendants of playwright Paul Zindel accused Del Toro of plagiarism, they say, his very "Form of Water" in the story resembles Zindel's play "Let me hear your whisper", which was created in 1969.

The "Form" of water "tells of a deaf-mute cleaner who works in a secret laboratory. She falls in love with an amphibian creature that lives in the laboratory, and tries to save him.

And in the play of Paul Zindel it is told about the cleaner in the secret laboratory, which tries to save the dolphin that lives there.

"We are shocked that a large studio can make a film that obviously leaves the work of my late father, and no one will recognize her and come to us for the rights," said David Zindel's son David.

Recall that the adventure film Guillermo del Toro "Form of Water" will compete for the Oscar statuette in the following categories: Best Picture, Best Actress, Best Supporting Actor, Best Supporting Actress, Best Director "and many others.
