Oscar nominations announced; 'La La Land' leads with 14 nods

 "La La Land", Damien Chazelle's dreamy ode to classic Hollywood musicals, swept the 89th Academy Awards nominations today by becoming the only third movie in the Oscars history to bag a record 14 nods.

The movie, about two artistes who fall in love while trying to make a career in Hollywood, bagged nominations in all the key categories including the best picture, best director for Chazelle and best actress and actor for its leading stars -- Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling, respectively.

"La La Land" equalled the record 14 nominations of "All About Eve" in 1959 and "Titanic" in 1997.

The second most nominated films this year are sci-fi drama "Arrival" and coming-of-age story "Moonlight" with both bagging 8 nods each.

British-Indian actor Dev Patel bagged his first nomination in the best supporting actor category for his moving India-set drama "Lion".

Past Oscar winners and nominees Jennifer Hudson, Brie Larson, Emmanuel Lubezki, Jason Reitman and Ken Watanabe joined Academy president Cheryl Boone Isaacs in presenting the 24 categories for the 89th Academy Awards.

Golden Globe best supporting actor Aaron Taylor-Johnson did not feature in the nominations list but his "Nocturnal Animals" co-star Michael Shannon was a suprise entrant.

Best foreign language film nominations went to "Land of Mine" from Denmark, "A Man Called Ove" from Sweden, "The Salesman" from Iran, "Tanna" from Australia and German drama "Toni Erdmann".

"Kubo and the Two Strings", "Moana", "My Life as a Zucchini", "The Red Turtle" and "Zootopia" feature in the best animated category.

Like every year, there were a number of snubs, most notable being the absence of Amy Adams in the best actress list despite her moving role of a linguist in sci-fi drama "Arrival".

Hugh Grant, Tom Hanks, Martin Scorsese were other major snubs.Jimmy Kimmel will host this year's ceremony on February 26. The Academy tried to make the nominations more interesting this year by inviting previous honorees to share anecdotes about their win as they announced the nominees.

Marcia Gay Harden, Glenn Close, Brie Larson, and Ken Watanabe shared stories about what it felt to win or get nominated at Academy awards.
