“La La Land”, “Moonlight” Score Major Nominations For 2017 Academy Awards

"La La Land" made Hollywood history with a record 14 nominations.
From: NewNowNext
 It’s official: the Academy is in love with La La Land.The modern day musical starring Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling scored a record-tying 14 Oscar nominations this morning. (The only other movies to earn that many nods were Titanic and All About Eve.)


 Moonlight received eight nominations, including Best Picture and Best Director, for Barry Jenkins. The film, adapted by Jenkins from a play by Tarell Alvin McCraney, follows the troubled life of Chiron, a sexually confused black youth in Miami in the 1980s.


 Moonlight’s Mahershala Ali was also nominated for Best Supporting Actor for playing Juan, a sympathetic dealer who serves as a surrogate father for Chiron. Naomie Harris also scored a nod for her role as Chiron’s abusive mother.


In addition to La La Land, Moonlight, the other Best Picture nominees were Arrival, Fences, Hacksaw Ridge, Hell or High Water, Hidden Figures, Lion and Manchester by the Sea.

And Meryl Streep was nominated once again for Best Actress, for Florence Foster Jenkins, meaning we could be in store for another bravura acceptance speech/call to arms.

After last year’s controversial #OscarsSoWhite campaign, this year’s nominations offered more diversity—including multiple nominations for Fences, Hidden Figures and Moonlight, and a Best Supporting Actor nom for Dev Patel in Lion.


Queer poet James Baldwin is back with us (and do we ever need him) in the acclaimed documentary I Am Not Your Negro, which earned a Best Documentary Feature nomination for director-producer Raoul Peck and co-producers Hébert Peck and Rémi Grellety.
