Oscar Nomination

The Oscars this year took place on the 26th February and I have decided to research La La Land as it was such a huge hit at the Oscars,winning a total of 5 awards. The film won:

• Best Actress
• Best Director
• Best Original Music Score
• Best Cinematography
• Best Production Company

As well as being nominated for a further seven awards.

The film was distributed by Summit Entertainment (owned by Lionsgate), the film was produced by Black Label Media, Gilbert Films, Imposter Pictures, Marc Platt Productions and Summit Entertainment.

Some of the things that contributed to the films success was the films release date as it was released right after the film had won seven awards at the Golden Globes where it attracted lots of press coverage, the film was also advertised across lots of different media sites such as Instagram, Facebook and Youtube which helped it become the most talked about Oscar Nominee. They also banded the film as a 1950's Hollywood musical comeback which was heavily exaggerated in trailers,  instead of focusing on the romantic comedy side of it which caused more hype around the film as it allowed people to connect to the film. However this was criticised by some as they said that the singing and music wasn't like Hollywood's Golden Age musical classics.
