Musicals reign supreme as La La Land makes a clean sweep at the Golden Globes
In a historic win, Damien’s Chazelle’s La La Land took home all seven of the awards it was nominated for, including Best Screenplay and Best Original Song. As an ode to the golden age of Hollywood musicals, La La Land was filmed largely in the Greater Los Angeles area.
One of La La Land’s most spectacular technical feats can be found in its opening sequence, wherein a dance number takes place amidst a traffic jam on the carpool lanes connecting the 105 and 110 freeways. The lock-off was coordinated by Robert Foulkes, the film’s Supervising Location Manager.
Barry Jenkins’s Moonlight scored the highly coveted award of Best Motion Picture (Drama), a considerable victory given last year’s controversy about a lack of diverse representation during the awards season.
Following the life of a young gay African-American man struggling to come to terms with his sexuality, Moonlight was shot entirely in Florida. Despite its lack of a financial incentive, Jenkins wanted to film in the neighbourhood where he grew up, which is why most of the scenes were shot in Miami.
As some pundits predicted, Casey Affleck won Best Performance by an Actor (Drama) for his role in Manchester by the Sea. Aside from filming in its namesake location, Manchester by the Sea features a range of locales from Massachusetts including Beverly, Lynn and Essex.
Massachusetts offers a three tiered incentive package to entice filmmakers to the state. Projects that spend at least 50% of their budget locally (and more than USD50,000) can receive a 25% production credit, a 25% payroll credit and exemption from sales tax.
