On the Eve of the Spirit Award Nominations, La La Land Not Eligible, Expect Big Things for Manchester and Moonlight
Tomorrow, the Spirit Awards will announce their nominations. More and more the Spirits are becoming an Oscar player out of sheer necessity. The Oscars have to be about independent film now because there are so few choices offered from the major studios. Of course, this year the majors have some great films like Arrival, Sully, Hidden Figures, Rules Don’t Apply, Patriots Day, and of course, Fences.
I expect tomorrow to be a blow out for Manchester by the Sea and for Moonlight. If Jackie is eligible it will be there, no doubt. No word on whether Birth of a Nation is eligible or if it will show up. We have heard that La La Land is not eligible. I wonder what else we might see pop up there – I’m betting that The Fits will show up somewhere. Probably American Honey. Maybe Certain Women.
Writer-director Damien Chazelle has channeled the unfulfilled dreams of aspiring actors and artists everywhere into “La La Land,” the new movie musical from Summit Entertainment soon twirling into theaters. Since its world premiere on the opening night of the Venice Film Festival, where its star Emma Stone won the Volpi Cup for Best Actress, the flick has been ready to take Oscar season by storm.
Centered on Mia (Stone), a struggling actor in modern-day Los Angeles, and Sebastian (Ryan Gosling), a frustrated jazz musician, “La La Land” depicts the struggles of starstruck artists today by way of Hollywood’s classic movie musical styles. Led by Academy Award Nominees Gosling and Stone, doing some of their best work ever on the big screen, the film is full of irresistibly charming performances, including turns from John Legend, Rosemarie DeWitt, Finn Wittrock, and Academy Award Winner J. K. Simmons.
In the exclusive featurette below, Chazelle and his cast provide a behind-the-scenes glimpse of the casting process, their rigorous pre-production goals (three months of intensive piano study for Gosling!), and just how they staged the film’s epic musical numbers. “They seemed excited about the amount of work it would take to do this movie,” says Chazelle of his actors. “That was astonishing and exciting to me.” Watch La La Land Online Free here.
