The nominations for the Academy Awards were announced the morning of Tuesday, Jan. 24, and as always they have garnered a lot of discussion. 2016 was a terrific year for film, and overall there were few big surprises, as most of the more acclaimed films got multiple nominations, led by a record-tying 14 awards (matching "Titanic" and "All About Eve") for the musical "La La Land," starring Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone. The musical telling the story of two young people (an actor and a musician) in love in Los Angeles is the perfect mix of fantasy and real life, so it's no surprise that Hollywood is showing it so much love.
