2016 - Awards Season: Golden Globes - Winners - La La Lands on Top

January 8, 2017

The first major awards night was Sunday with the Golden Globes being handed out. La La Land led the way with seven wins, winning in every category it was nominated in. This is great news for its Oscar chances, but there’s already backlash building.

The categories and winners are...

BEST MOTION PICTURE - DRAMA

• Moonlight

• La La Land

• Damien Chazelle for La La Land

• Damien Chazelle for La La Land

• Isabelle Huppert for Elle

• Casey Affleck for Manchester by the Sea

• Ryan Gosling for La La Land

• Emma Stone for La La Land

• Aaron Taylor-Johnson for Nocturnal Animals

• Viola Davis for Fences

• Zootopia

• Elle (France)

• Justin Hurwitz for La La Land

• “City of Stars” from La La Land

• While La La Land was easily the biggest winner of the night with seven wins. It won every category is was nominated in. ... However, I’m already hearing people compare it to The Artist and not as a compliment. Both earned stellar reviews and are Awards Season darlings, but The Artist is now considered overrated and many think it only won because it was a love letter to Hollywood.
• The only other film to earn more than one award was Elle, which picked up Best Foreign-Language Film and Best Actress in a Drama for Isabelle Huppert.
• On the other hand, a lot of people are arguing Moonlight was robbed with only one win: Best Drama. Personally, I think it should have won Best Director, Best Screenplay, and certainly Best Supporting Actor.
• Zootopia won for Best Animated Film, which is no surprise.
