It’s award season again in Hollywood and the Oscar Nominations have been announced. La La Land leads the way with 14 Oscar nominations, which ties with Titanic and All About Eve for the most ever. All of these films are deserving of an Oscar, but of course only one can win in each category. This year’s Oscars will be hosted by Jimmy Kimmel and airs on February 26th.
