The Oscars nominations are here, folks, and would you believe that the Academy has decided to shower treacly Hollywood love letter La La Land with a staggering fourteen noms? Yep, this is the year of La La Land, that film that exactly half of your friends love and exactly half of them totally hate.
But it’s not all La La Love. After last year’s #OscarsSoWhite controversy, it looks like deliberate steps have been taken to avoid that shitstorm again – six black actors have been honoured, and diversely casted films like Moonlight, Fences and Hidden Figures all receiving nods.
