Stating the Obvious: 89th Oscars Final Predictions


The Year of LA LA winning in Los Angeles

The year of 2016 was magical when we all appraised La La Land in its every aspect, notably on its references to:

  • Musicals in the 50s and 60s
  • All-time classic romance Casablanca, scenes shot in the Warner Bros. Studios in Los Angeles
  • The Royal Observatory where Rebel Without A Cause was filmed
  • Traditional film playing in a cinema with a chance of heat resulting in burning of 35mm film
  • End credits starting with "The End" which we have not seen for long
  • Final look of Ryan Gosling to Emma Stone at the Seb's which is exactly resembling Humphrey Bogart in Casablanca

And many other small details we could see in the film which makes it so revival, refreshing and stunning for 2016. No doubt on it winning the big awards for the night! Now, the question remains when La La Land potentially sweeps with its 14 nominations, where do other films stand? What are the dark horses?
