Oscars 2017: Every Best Picture Nominee - Ranked From Worst To Best
1. La La Land
La La Land was met with a wave of acclaim from day one, making the subsequent backlash somewhat inevitable. People love to pour scorn on something that's getting praise.
But forget the backlash, and embrace the beauty of this movie, and it's easy to see why everyone fell in love with La La Land in the first place.
Damien Chazelle's modern musical breathes fresh life into the genre, taking influences from both the Golden Age of Hollywood and the work of director Jacques Demy, but combining them to create something new.
The love story of Mia and Sebastian is beautiful and heartfelt, much like everything in the movie. The songs are a joy, it looks gorgeous, Emma Stone will deservedly win an Oscar for her performance, and it'll deservedly win pretty much everything else going as well (Best Actor is the only area where it has no real chance).
Its blend of magical fantasy and hardened reality serve to make hearts both soar and break, and the final montage cements its status as a musical masterpiece. La La Land will probably win Best Picture, and it unquestionably deserves to.
