Golden Globes entranced by ‘La La Land’ musical
Print Edition
DREAMY musical “La La Land,” set in modern-day Los Angeles, topped nominations for the Golden Globes yesterday, as Hollywood’s awards seasons revs up ahead of the Oscars.
Damien Chazelle’s tribute to the golden age of American musicals picked up seven nods, including for best musical/comedy film and for its stars, Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone.
Dramas “Moonlight,” “Manchester by the Sea” and “Florence Foster Jenkins” followed with six, five and four nominations, respectively.
The announcements will give the nominees a welcome boost going into the race for February’s Oscars, with the influential Screen Actors Guild nominations to come later this week.
“La La Land” will face competition from “20th Century Women,” “Deadpool,” “Florence Foster Jenkins” and “Sing Street” in the race for best comedy or musical.
Vying for best motion picture drama are Mel Gibson’s war movie “Hacksaw Ridge,” heist thriller “Hell or High Water,” family dramas “Lion” and “Manchester by the Sea” and coming-of-age story “Moonlight.”
Experts have Chazelle’s musical in the lead in several races for the Globes, which will take place on January 8 with comedian Jimmy Fallon as host.
“Normally the Globe voters like to spread the wealth among a lot of different films, but I could honestly see it winning the film award and for Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone,” said Chris Beachum, managing director of the Gold Derby awards predictions website.
Kenneth Lonergan’s unflinching “Manchester by the Sea,” which earned Casey Affleck a best actor nomination, has been monopolizing attention on the drama side of the Globes competition.
Another frontrunner is Barry Jenkins’s “Moonlight,” with the director and cast members Naomie Harris and Mahershala Ali all garnering nominations.
Among the television nominations, “The People vs O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story” led with five nominations.
