‘La La Land’ wins top prize at Toronto International Film Festival

‘La La Land’ wins top prize at Toronto International Film Festival

YEREVAN, SEPTEMBER 19, ARMENPRESS. Adding to its early status as an Oscar front-runner, the moody musical “La La Land,” directed by Damien Chazelle and starring Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling, on Sunday received the Toronto International Film Festival’s top prize, the audience award for best feature film, the New York Times reports.

The Toronto festivalgoers’ choice has been won in four of the past five years by movies that have gone on to Academy Awards glory in one form or another. Last year’s Toronto winner, “Room,” was nominated for four Oscars, winning one for Brie Larson’s acting; “12 Years a Slave,” the Toronto winner in 2013, went on to collect three Oscar trophies, including one for best picture.

In a statement, Chazelle (“Whiplash”) said that “getting to even make this movie was a dream come true” and noted the film’s theme, which is that “even the most far-fetched dreams can guide us.” “La La Land,” a throwback romance between a gruff jazz pianist and an aspiring actress, has received a sizzling reception on the fall film festival circuit; Lionsgate has set theatrical release for Dec. 16.
