One night before the Oscars, "La La Land" had to take a backseat to "Moonlight" at the 2017 Film Independent Spirit Awards. The film took six awards even pushing the other Academy Award favorite "Manchester by the Sea" back
It's just two weeks before the Oscars hit, but the BAFTA's took center stage (well right before the Grammy's) Sunday night with "La La Land" winning five awards.
As no surprise, "La La Land" swept the 89th Oscar nominations with 14 tying it with "Titanic" and that classic Bette Davis film "All About Eve." Not bad company, and no one will be surprised if it sweeps in wins
"La La Land" continues to march its way into Oscar nomination territory as the Directors Guild of America (DGA) honored it with yet another nomination for director Damien Chazelle.
The Critics Choice awards got a very early lead for award season by pushing things up a month this year listing their choices before the Golden Globes nominations were announced.
