Oscar nominations

yeah! La La Land receives 14 nominations - ties the previous record set jointly by All About Eve and Titanic

If you haven't seen this movie I really urge you to. it captures you (or should) from minute one with its creativity.

Weird that Mel Gibson is nominated as best director - suspect that's some Hollywood sucking up

Would also add that Manchester by the Sea is the first nomination to a streaming media movie (Amazon)

Donald Trump.
All categories.

Feel more comfortable with Donald Duck though.
