"La La Land" Wins Best Picture | 22nd Annual Critics' Choice Awards | A&E

[@Azerrz]

La La Land was impeccable.

[@azania1243]

Damien Chazelle is killing it. Whiplash and now La La Land. Albeit a muscial it's still an amazing film.

[@giuseppesarto3657]

I haven't seen the others, but I approve. La La Land was a breakthrough in a genre, and will be a classic that future generations will be quoting. And City of Stars which won best song is STILL stuck in my head- since the premiere!

[@mckenna8663]

I disagree. It was forgettable as a musical and over-hyped. The movie was fair. The singing and dancing (other than the first 7 minutes) was meeeh. The jazz was incredible - but that wasn't even included with what would make this a musical. Hipsters might applaud this, but that doesn't mean they have that good of taste. Lots of talent in the film - not a lot came through.

[@giuseppesarto3657]

Mc Kenna singing and dancing was Mehh, same as Les Mis because they cast Actors, not singers. That's the casualty in a Hollhwood musical, I'm afraid. I don't like it either... But, the STORY was EXTREMELY well executed, the director was great, and the composer of the music and lyricists were excellent too.

[@Jadorelainie]

We are witnessing the birth of one dude that can be among the greatest! This man has only two films under his sleeves and what an outstanding picture they are! The beauty, the detail, the originality and creativity in Whiplash so spectacular one thought we'll never see nothing like that and then he comes with La La Land and completely smash it a whole lot more! I could watch that film even it was soundless just for the color and pace it has! Damien has such an incredible career ahead of himself, I can't wait to get to seeexperience it!

[@Mike-hj7gg]

thats what M night shamalayn said..

[@ragtimepants]

The person has three films

[@ragtimepants]

the first was another musical Guy and Madeline on a Park Bench which will probably get a larger audience now

[@-sylvia3536]

He's 31 wtf, he would be a kind of director the ppl look up to and he's films will still be classics that ppl talk about after 60 years

[@arnoldjoseph1122]

Just got the movie right now. Would have never watched it if it wasn't for La La Land and Whiplash

[@PrinceEntertainmentMedia]

This was my pick for movie of the year, coming from a huge superhero / comic book / sci-fi / action lover. La La Land was complete movie magic that raptured me from the opening scene until the last picture on the theater screen. Impeccable, amazing and magical.

[@IndianTelephone]

Hi 5! I am same genre lover and I hate romance and musicals, yet La La Land, I put you up high in the same place, right next to The Secret Life of Walter Mitty. The place where gems are hidden!

[@MrProphet24]

I've never been more optimistic about a movie winning best picture. I don't even like musicals but quality is quality and this will sweep at the oscars.

[@batitony]

I loved how humbled Chazelle felt when thanking everyone like he didnt want to just put on the spotlight but truly thank everyone from the bottom of his heart. I am so looking fowrward to this movie.

[@sherlaneyuen5263]

MOST WELL DESERVED FILM WON AND I AM BEYOND HAPPY FOR EVERY SINGLE CAST AND CREW MEMBER WHO MADE LA LA LAND, MY FAVORITE MOVIE, A POSSIBILITY. Thank you Critics Choice! #LALALAND

[@ricky93100]

Having John Travolta present, it was obvious who was going to win

[@goncalosilva97]

i just started the video and saw him and thought of that!

[@konne3173]

Marchie Monroe ikr

[@hee9710]

La la land is the best

[@chaserodgers669]

Scott Mantz is a LEGEND.

[@_CoasterNinja]

MANTZ!

[@하늘나리-t8o]

lalaland💕💕

[@SwiftieCatLover]

Well deserved! Also, that brief glimpse of Andrew Garfield at around 3:27 3:28 just gives me the feels.

[@Dream1ng]

Subin Kim maybe I'm blind but where do you see him

[@SwiftieCatLover]

***** No he was only one table away from hers if you had watched the show.

[@SwiftieCatLover]

He's behind that bald guy thats standing and clapping. Andrew is sitting next to Mel Gibson.

[@SwiftieCatLover]

Once you blink you miss it. He shows up for like 0.1 seconds.

[@SwiftieCatLover]

You sort of have to watch frame by frame.

[@kyliem201]

its so hard for me to decide on which movie of the year is my favorite: la la land, manchester by the sea, or moonlight. such a tough year.

[@thebackup9991]

Ian Meadows Did you really just say Manchester by the Sea has no story progression? Have you ever heard of "the plot still exists even though they don't outright say it"?

[@chicox3me]

Travolta didn't know who Chazelle was! hahaha! Couldn't believe só young a dude could be such a force in cinema. Go La La Land!

[@alexman378]

Hey, I'm impressed that a guy just ten years older than me destroyed the awards in such a fashion with just two films. He's my inspiration, gives me hope for the future.

[@fonn2258]

Damien Chazelle is so talented and humble! Really respect him

[@RedJet-bq6fq]

La la land deserved this win very much. What a legendary iconic film

[@prociuto]

Well deserved! 💪

[@jacobbastian1849]

already one of the best and so young. Cant wait to see his movies for many many years to come

[@gabrielfranca8352]

Did anyone else notice Scott Mantz going total nuts when it was announced? Love that man

[@josuepaulin625]

This is one sick Oscars season

[@craigfoulds8657]

Try not to think about Scientology for the next 5 minutes.

[@JakeG-gp4qt]

Apparently Damien Chazelle's next film is going to be....... A Neil Armstrong biopic. That would've been my last guess honestly. But I trust that he'll make another masterpiece.

[@JosephDutra]

And he casted Ryan Gosling as Neil so already on the right start.

[@JakeG-gp4qt]

+Joseph Dutra And the screenplay was written by the Oscar winning writer of Spotlight. This film has so much potential already!

[@zoecarpenter3823]

Joseph Dutra honk khgjk

[@horstdieter10]

I love how Scott Mantz is so happy and excited for La La Land winning at the table behind the La La Land crew :D :)

[@jorgeesquiviaescobar4149]

hope La La Land will sweep the awards season

[@giuseppesarto3657]

And don't forget 10 Cloverfield Lane. He did that too. He seems to know what he's doing, and he's so young. I think we are watching one of the greats here. Three movies so far that are excellent quality.

[@96speechless]

Being Italian, I'm so proud of the Venice Film Festival. Once again it proved that many of the best movies of the year pass by it. Portman winning Oscar for Black Swan (opening movie in Venice in 2010), Birdman winning best picture (Venice 2014), Spotlight best picture (Venice 2015), Vikander best supporting Actress (Venice 2015) and now La La Land, opening movie in Venice last september. Hopefully Best Picture, Director and Actress. *___*

[@amycurtis535]

Ryan Gosling shoulda put his arm around Emma stone on stage. They looks so awkward lol

[@movieman82us]

LOL! The most excited person appears to be Scott Mantz and he's not even involved with the movie at all. :D

[@djmotise]

who's Scott Mantz??

[@movieman82us]

He works for Access Hollywood and makes frequent appearances with the Schmoes Know and Collider group. He's awesome. A very energetic and infectiously joyful guy.

[@jakemaringoni]

would've lost it if Travolta said Bespin instead of La La Land.

[@Sushi-bn9ug]

No joke, Damien Chazelle is my cousin

[@RaymondVictorMusic]

Sushi5985 could you please help me get in contact with him?

[@randomguy6679]

Sushi5985 me too please

[@jasfay7219]

Sushi5985 is he single lol

[@MegaAsh1996]

No joke, I'm his mom, he doesn't have a cousin.

[@cupcakecake7606]

+MegaAsh1996 i mean he might as well be his cousin , doesent seem that inpossible

[@17newmenone94]

Saw Loving, Moonlight, Manchester by the Sea, Lion, and Fences and thought they were all superb films. Surprised that La La Land won. Guess I should I go check it out.

[@vangogh4045]

I love how diverse these films were

[@ardahanapaydin2178]

I really wonder what did Ryan say to Emma at 4:54

[@dreammore1589]

The lady ships Emma and Ryan together lol xD

[@rennydesu]

La la land had the best camera work. Limited cuts, it was very perfect

[@ctvuniverse4414]

I haven't seen the film but when i heard about it i thought that would be a film with a 5% on Rotten Tomatoes, i mean the title is "La La Land" what could i expect?, so things like this are a lesson to me and after seeing some reviews it was so obvious that would win.

[@jerrythepotato1919]

CTV universe Maybe it will also be a lesson not to judge a movie on the basis of its title.

[@andynguyen3271]

It did happen to me when i heard "Birdman" LOL

[@Mahesh-rb8xf]

Damien Chavelle is the man.

[@JakeG-gp4qt]

Nocturnal Animals wasn't nominated. 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡

[@megamoviez]

Haha oh I love me some Scott Mantz and his reaction was the same as mine! 😂

[@bboyuploads]

In my opinion, this was the best movie i've seen in 2016

[@nelisdabomb]

awww ryan waited untim emma was with him at 3:45

[@prolificwonder7382]

Actually it was Mary the costume designer. But 👌

[@devilhamster1]

damien chazelle isn't just a director - he's an artist

[@BlizzyFoxTF]

Hey is that Scott Mantz at the backdrop there when La La Land wins? I know he's been raving about it but what's he doing therexd

[@Nutemero]

Ya tenemos la película ganadora del Óscar.

[@da96103]

La La Land should not have won! It should have been Adele Dazeem!

[@randomguy6679]

da96103 what's adele dazeem

[@luis_schuhbocatios]

It's the president of Argentina.

[@ArvensBoyfriend]

+randomguy6679 queen of Arendelle

[@Chuckerson100]

da96103 LMAO!!!

[@yashgupta8000]

why is emma hesitating standing next to Ryan Gosling..

[@johnnguyen9515]

Yash Gupta maybe they had an affair

[@kathleenconstanti3603]

Yash Gupta i dont know but like what did he whisper to her when she made that like smirk at him like oooooh but he is married with a kid so i hope not even though i love them both as an onscreen couple

[@johnnguyen9515]

Kathleen Constanti u never now remember brad and angelina

[@cosmicgoddess5085]

Yash Gupta I think she just didn't like that lady grabbing her arm & dragging her over

[@prolificwonder7382]

She pratically collided into him. He says something to her shortly after and she replies. So maybe he asked if she was ok or a joke was shared. In this case it doesn't appear to be that deep people. lol

[@cuppiecupsters]

Love the movie. Love the actors. (specifically Emma) Love the music. Love this speech. Love La La Land!!💖💖

[@MultiChrisbrownfan]

Well deserved! Bravo!

[@westfield90]

Magnificent movie

[@peterdink5823]

HBO IS THE BEST... they win all the big ones!

[@mckenna8663]

HBO? This is Summit films - a division of Lionsgate

[@StereoChimps]

wow so many amazing movies this year !

[@anataria]

I smell the best pictures also from oscar (I mean, yes the film is realllllllllllllyyyyyyyyy good - and also oscar lovesss and embracessss this kind already; nostalgia of classical hollywood but in modern one-step-ahead version) :DDD

[@T1000yoshi]

OMG SCOTT MANTZ in the background!!! #SCHMOEVILLE

[@courtneyf2850]

I used to hate cheesy musicals, but Damian changed my perspective

[@madnass_.01]

I really loved Hacksaw Ridge.

[@Joydeep2000]

What soundtrack is playing when the nominees are shown?

[@Kenikex]

Hurrah!!

[@kakapokedrol]

what is the name of the soundtrack in the background of the clips :) ?

[@dustinmartin9]

welp la la land is going to win all of the awards

[@bensilver1851]

Nothing against the guy, but can anyone tell me why Scott Mantz is there?

[@SarahluvesB]

Hacksaw Ridge should have won aghhh! :(

[@jorgejf3269]

Whats song is on the video please?

[@richardgodoy3671]

Jorge JF It’s Aura from Thomas Bergersen. :)

[@diamondgaming1270]

It must've been awkward for Andrew Garfield to see Emma Stone up there

[@BeyzaSolmazz]

ryan waiting emma is cute

[@jazzle7242]

Wow Emma Stone looks like Jodie Foster when she's in the background and slightly out of focus

[@kaaygoldmine]

Moonlight should have won.

[@matt_indy]

goldmineken Says who?

[@matt_indy]

goldmineken Obviously not the critics

[@kaaygoldmine]

Matt Sobczak says me tf. This is just how I feel. Obviously the critics are gonna do whatever they wanna do but I personally feel like Moonlight deserved it and that's MY opinion that I'm fully entitled to. Foh

[@JakeG-gp4qt]

Manchester by the Sea

[@TilzMD]

its a difficult year....lot of good movies....and la la land, moonlight and manchester by the sea are great movies but differ from each other very vastly in terms of genre....its difficult to choose an objective winner

[@abdulaziz.9471]

Damien keeps going for Ryan before his wife, everytime, which is normal ofc, i know i would #nohomo

[@danielwalsh6372]

this is not better than moonlight

[@andrewcrizpy]

moonlight was very moving but lala land had me thinking about it long afterwards..still thinking bout it

[@lovelyman28]

Andrew Chavarria Moonlight🌙 was amazing amazing and had me thinking more about it than LaLa Land. It also felt more modern than La La Land. It was great but Moonlight was better.

[@arianydonato3956]

Será que esse filme é tudo isso? As pessoas falam de amor, mas na verdade o ser humano vive uma eterna guerra interna consigo mesmo.

[@djmiamamma]

music???

[@mckenna8663]

I'm not sure what movie people are seeing here. LaLa Land was...tremendously underwhelming. The singing and dancing were fair. The story was depressing, the writing was average at best, and overall it was not even worth spending the time having it told to you. The music? One song is decent (the first few minutes of the entire movie). But the musical score had pretty well nothing to do with the "book". Each tune could have been cut or replaced and the movie wouldn't have necessarily changed. (I WILL say though that the jazz was incredible - but none of the jazz made it a musical.) I read one critic saying this was an homage to the old MGM musicals (the sort Vincent Minnelli would have made) by people who may never have actually seen one. I totally agree. The audience I saw it with were broken up into 2 groups; mega fans of the 2 stars or not. And neither group left the theater smiling with satisfaction. WAY over hyped. Maybe, after an incredibly exhausting year like 2016, our standards have reached such a low level that this is now considered (by some) to be a masterpiece. Honestly...go rent an old musical instead. You'll be much more satisfied by the end.

[@randomguy6679]

Mc Kenna what Book? La La Land isn't based off of a book. What movie are you thinking of?

[@drrajunagar8612]

I haven't watched la la land but it can't be better than manchester by the sea

[@Dream1ng]

two very different movies.

[@djmotise]

It's not. it's actually an awful film. Horrible script and bad dancing and singing. Embarrassing high school level choreography. Any real musician would cringe at this garbage.

[@JakeG-gp4qt]

That's what I thought until I saw La La Land. It might possibly be the best film of this decade.

[@watercolours9492]

just saw la la land and loved it I dont even usually like musicals. Havent seen manchester though

[@B.torres]

I'd say it's definitely better than Manchester, but neither of them are the best of the year.

[@ButterTheScotch]

should've been Moonlight

[@matt_indy]

ButterTheScotch Why?

[@BITCHyourdone]

Matt Sobczak why not?

[@aperson------------]

KateBushStan That isn't an answer

[@lmw1996]

Vincent Vega

[@nonote889]

im so happy for la la land but oh my god chris pine is such a sugar cane

[@dariussalepetru9951]
