The reality is that Hollywood got it right. Hands down the best movie of 2016
Hi Steve,
It's interesting to compare the number of awards both
La La Land and
Moonlight have between them. With the Globes splitting pictures between musical/comedy and drama, obviously
La La Land was a shoe-in for those categories. Will the Oscar's be as willing to go there again? Time will tell I guess.
