![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Here are all 10 musicals to win best picture, along with La La Land on the far right. Using the soundtrack listing, and disregarding reprises and instrumental-only songs, La La Land has just six unique numbers: “ Another Day of Sun,” “ Someone in the Crowd,” “ A Lovely Night,” “ City of Stars,” “ Start a Fire” and “ Audition (The Fools Who Dream).”īy way of comparison, the only post-1968 musical to win best picture, 2002’s Chicago, had 12 songs with lyrics, from “ All That Jazz” at the top of the film to “ I Move On” during the credits. But La La Land differs from its ancestors in one notable way: It contains fewer instances of characters singing songs than most musicals in history. It’s hard to watch Damien Chazelle’s jazzy work without hearkening back to the films of Fred Astaire, Ginger Rogers and Gene Kelly. La La Land, which arrives at Sunday night’s Oscar ceremony with 14 nominations, proudly pays homage to the classic movie musicals of the genre’s golden age.
