'La La Land' poised to sing out in Golden Globe nominations
Among the films expected to take in a number of nods are Damien Chazelle's nostalgic Los Angeles musical "La La Land," Barry Jenkins' lyrical coming-of-age tale "Moonlight," Kenneth Lonergan's New England drama "Manchester by the Sea" and Denzel Washington's August Wilson adaptation "Fences."
Going into the Golden Globe nominations, no film has more momentum than Jenkin's celebrated "Moonlight," a staple of top 10-lists and the best film choice of the Los Angeles Film Critics Association and the Gotham Independent Film Awards.
Some films that have so far been largely left out by critics' awards could benefit from the Golden Globes splitting of drama and comedy.
