Let's just say it should not have won that screenplay award. I question whether it should have even been nominated for it. I feel a backlash coming unfortunately.Well, I predicted it! There was just that atmosphere whilst watching the Golden Globes that night when it broke the record for wins. You could feel the audience getting antsy, getting tired of it. And then when Moonlight won their first award of the night - Best Drama - the audience screamed and finally gave a standing ovation. Then the Oscar nominations being announced so soon after, and it tying the record there. Both of these things, the Globe wins and the 14 Oscar noms harmed the movie in my opinion. It made people reevaluate whether it was actually worthy of them. Then all these articles started getting published in the week before Oscar voting closed about how overrated it was. You could feel the same mood of the Globes watching the Oscars. People got on their feet when Moonlight won Best Adapted Screenplay but not when La La Land won Best Director, the more important award. Film studios should learn a lesson from this and that's that it's never a good thing to have your movie be such an undeniable frontrunner from beginning of award season to end. You need to have some form of underdog status or else your movie may just fumble at the very last minute, although hopefully not in such a dramatic way as La La Land did. Losing was the best thing that could happen for La La Land though. The backlash has eased enormously already, especially with the added sympathy of how it happened. Have to laugh at this final post-Oscars advert they've released though, so much sadder in tone than all of their others: A fascinating award season and Oscars that people will look back on for years to come.

Saw this for the second time last month at the Monlight cinema, Maapalomas, Gran Canaria. What time dis it start? Why just as soon as it gots dark. I hadnt' noticed how many scenes were shot outdoors and having the scren blend with the night sky was fantastic.
But I digress. As one of the reviewers above points out, what's truly amazing is the colour and look of the film. What struck me was the influence that none of the professional reviewers spotted, were the films of Vincinte Minelli.
