LA LA LAND WINS FOUR AWARDS FROM DETROIT FILM CRITICS SOCIETY


Just another critics group, and just another triumph for Damien Chazelle's original musical La La Land. Four wins this time, from the Detroit Film Critics Society, including that most bizarrely elusive of prizes - a Best Actress win for Emma Stone! She's pretty damn good in a pretty damn bad film, so that's one win that I cannot begrudge the film. These awards are mostly business as usual, though a tie in Best Supporting Actress sees a surprise victory for Greta Gerwig in 20th Century Women. Peruse the DFCS' nominations here.
