Hollywood goes ga ga for la la!

With a record equalling 14 nominations, joining All About Eve and Titanic as the most oscar nominated movie of all time, La La Land looks set to add to its record breaking haul at the Golden Globes with an equally impressive showing come Oscar night on February 26th.
Another record breaker today was Meryl Streep, breaking her own record of 19 nominations with a 20th for her role in the film Florence Foster Jenkins.
There were little other surprises in the Oscar nominations as all the favoured films got the nod as expected.
Tom Fords Nocturnal Animals did fare worse than expected however, landing  only a best supporting actor nomination (which in itself was strange as it was Aaron Taylor Johnson who won the Golden Globe for the same category with the same film).
Martin Scorcese's Silence and Clint Eastwood's Sully did get nominated for cinematography and sound editing respectively, having being snubbed during award season up this point.
On a positive note for the Irish, Ruth Negga's performance in Jeff Nichols' Loving secured the Limerick woman a well earned Oscar nomination.
