Oscar frontrunner “La La Land” headed into Sunday’s Academy Awards with a leading 14 nominations. That ties the record of “All About Eve” (1950) and “Titanic” (1997). Like “All About Eve,” it too won six Oscars. However, unlike that classic backstage drama, it lost Best Picture to “Moonlight” which claimed three trophies in all.
By comparison, “Titanic” took home a record-tying 11, equalling the benchmark set by “Ben-Hur” in 1959 and later matched by “Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King” in 2003. All three of those record holders won Best Picture.
