“La La Land” dominated the Oscar nominations Tuesday, scoring 14 nods — including the Motion Picture Academy’s top award, Best Picture.
The musical, with Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling, tied “Titanic’s” record for the most nominations in one year. The James Cameron epic went on to win Best Picture in 1998.

For Best Actress, the nominees were Stone, Isabelle Huppert (“Elle”), Ruth Negga (“Loving”), Natalie Portman (“Jackie”) and Meryl Streep (“Florence Foster Jenkins”).
It was Streep’s 20th nomination, taking her another step ahead of Katharine Hepburn and Jack Nicholson, who are next on the all-time list with 12 nods.
Nominations for Best Director went to Denis Villeneuve (“Arrival”), Mel Gibson (“Hacksaw Ridge”), Damien Chazelle (“La La Land”), Kenneth Lonergan (“Manchester by the Sea”) and Barry Jenkins (“Moonlight”).
