[...] it is no surprise that stars Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone were dancing on air at the film’s Los Angeles premiere at the Village Theatre in Westwood Tuesday as they celebrated the awards-season darling.
Written and directed by Academy Award nominee Damien Chazelle, “La La Land,” from Lionsgate’s Summit Entertainment label, tells the story of an aspiring actress, Mia (Stone), and a dedicated jazz musician, Sebastian (Gosling), both struggling to make ends meet in a city known for crushing hopes and breaking hearts.
The film has received many accolades since debuting at festivals earlier this fall, and will receive the Palm Springs International Film Festival’s Vanguard Award on Jan. 2, the festival announced last month.
