"La La Land" is a special, special experience, and movies like this don't come around too often. - Adam Graham, Detroit News
"The movie ends with a what-might-have-been fantasia that is one of the most emotionally moving passages I've ever seen in a musical. It's like a bluesy jazz piano chord, full of hurt and healing, that slowly fades to silence." - Peter Rainer, Christian Science Monitor
"Chazelle has assembled a vibrant, infectiously hummable pastiche of musical and cinematic styles - an entrancing ode to the glories of cinema past as well as a heartfelt expression of faith in the medium's future." - Justin Chang, Los Angeles Times
for everything, even categories that it is ineligible for (La La Land is what cinema is all about ... award it accordingly!), but especially:
Best Film Best Director (Damian Chazelle) Best Actor (Ryan Gosling) Best Actress (Emma Stone) Best Original Screenplay (Damien Chazelle) Best Cinematography (Linus Sandgren) Best Editing (Tom Cross) Best Score (Justin Hurwitz) Best Song ("City of Stars") Best Song ("Another Day of Sun") Best Song ("Someone in the Crowd") Best Sound Best Art Direction Best Costume Design Best Breakthrough of the Year (Damien Chazelle) - since he was robbed for Whiplash

Nice, I think from anyone that has seen Sing Street this should be getting a lot of votes.

Not seen any of those apart from The Witch, which I already have. But, I'm curious, isn't her name Anya Taylor-Joy?

Re: 13th WOKJ Motion Picture Awards - FYC Thread
hehe. So I have three spots filled. Damien Chazelle (breakthrough director), Mark Rylance (breakthrough voice artist), and Anya Taylor-Joy (breakthrough actress). Looking for two more.

I feel Chazelle broke through with Whiplash.

I agree. But he wasn't awarded here, so I'm trying again.

I second that one, I've been listening to that song ever since it contributed to my mind being blown at the end of Neon Demon.
Sia has another song from the movie Lion, called "Never Give Up":

Re: 13th WOKJ Motion Picture Awards - FYC Thread
I hope that Deadpool isn't completely forgotten. I am not expecting it to be nominated for Best Film but it does deserve support in other areas, and I hope it gets it. It's very easy to be snobby at this time of year but back at the start of the year people loved it.
