Post Could La La Land tie Titanic and All About Eve?
For most Oscar noms (14)

Locks:

Picture
Director
Actor
Actress
Screenplay
Score
Editing
Song
Cinematography

That's 9. It could also get:

Set Design
Costume Design
Second song nom
Sound Mixing
Sound Editing

Think it can tie Chicago, with the second song making up for one fewer acting nom. Getting both sound categories is quite unlikely for such a film.

I hope it doesn't get a screenplay nom, but it most likely will. I see it getting 11 noms with second song and Set Design.

Chicago got 4 acting nominations:

Best Actress -- Renée Zellweger
Best Supporting Actor -- John C. Reilly
Best Supporting Actress -- Catherine Zeta-Jones
Best Supporting Actress -- Queen Latifah

It missed Best Original Score (for obvious reasons).

So La La Land doesn't have any worthy supporting performances?

No one in the movie has more than 3 or 4 minutes of screen time other than Gosling and Stone.

You'll understand when you see it. It has a good supporting cast and Rosemarie DeWitt, John Legend and J.K. Simmons all get roughly a scene, but it's a two-person show mostly and all of the supporting actors are there to prop up the lead performances. It's why the movie didn't get a SAG nomination for Best Ensemble (and also why it's dumb some people are calling the fact that happened a 'snub.')

Ah correct; thanks for the correction!

Another example is Mary Poppins, which got 13 noms with only one of them acting, but back then they had two score categories, and it also got VE. It snatched a sound nom as well like Chicago, so that bodes well for La La Land to score one there.

Aren't musicals generally favored in the Sound Mixing category?

I'd expect it to miss out on Sound Editing, though.

It can only win a max of 13, though I see maybe 8 wins.

Not if there were a 2-way tie in Best Song. ;)

(I stole that concept from a poster on AW tho.)

If there's a two way tie and it's the two La La Land songs that win over Lin and Justin, I would cry. I've already come to terms with the fact that fucking La La Land is going to keep Lin from his EGOT with one song. Two songs would be just mean.

I'm sure LMM will have another chance at getting an Oscar, though I do think How Far I'll Go is a worthy winner.

LLL is gonna win at least 7 Oscars
