LA LA LAND Breaks Record with Clean Sweep at 2017 Golden Globes
The 2017 Golden Globe Awards went gaga for
La La Land. Writer/director Damien Chazelle‘s original musical scored a clean sweep, winning in every single category in which it was nominated including Best Picture Musical or Comedy, Best Director, Best Actress for Emma Stone and Best Actor for Ryan Gosling.
La La Land won seven awards in total, setting a new Golden Globes record for the most wins by a single film. The previous record of six wins was held by
One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest and
Midnight Express.
Elsewhere in the film awards, the biggest surprise of the night came with Aaron Taylor-Johnson‘s Best Supporting Actor win for
Nocturnal Animals. His performance is indeed excellent in Tom Ford‘s underrated thriller, but Mahershala Ali was the clear frontrunner in this category for his towering performance in
Moonlight and has been picking up critics awards left and right.
