'La La Land' rolls on towards Oscar domination
No surprise here that La La Land won all the top BAFTA awards, including Picture, Director, Actress and Music, but it was a little unexpected to see so much wealth spread around elsewhere. For example, Dev Patel in Supporting Actor for Lion! And 13th for Documentary, Kubo and the Two Strings in Animated, Hacksaw Ridge in Editing. It's hard to know if these are likely to repeat at the Academy though. I still think OJ and Zootopia are locked for their respective races. And there's no way Moonlight's getting shut out. But when the time comes for predictions next week, I do take the guild and BAFTA winners into account for each category, so there may be some surprises in the smaller categories on Oscar night. But not so for the big ones. La La Land is locked and loaded for the win.
