An event I didn't expect.

Awards season is a time of predictable success, excessive venue budgets and political comradery. So with very little at stake for films that have already proved popular at the box office, why do we give out awards?

La La Land takes 14 nominations matching the record for most nominated film and musical ever, shared only by All About Eve and Titanic.

If I asked you, can you name five people who are EGOTs, what would your answer be?

The biggest night in the film calendar has released its list of awards nominations. The 2016 Oscars, unlike the 2016 Golden Globes, are predictable so there's little to be moaned at.

Kicking off awards season with an underwhelming bang, the nominations for next year's Grammy's have been announced. It's been a good year for brits and a confusing year for pop music with some exceptions. Kendrick Lamar leads with a humongous eleven nominations and Taylor Swift and The Weeknd trail behind with seven.
