After sweeping all seven of its nominated categories in the Golden Globes, “La La Land” will be a hard film to beat in the 89th Academy Awards. But as evidenced by previous Best Picture wins, “Crash” and “Shakespeare in Love” who took home the top prize over “Brokeback Mountain” and “Saving Private Ryan” respectfully, anything is possible.
