La La Land, a love letter to Hollywood leads the way with 14 nominations and looks likely to be rewarded by Tinsel Town on the night with Best Picture and a Best Actress award for star Emma Stone. But it has stiff competition. Among others tipped to perform well are Moonlight, a coming-of-age story about a gay African-American man in Miami and Manchester by the Sea, about a Boston handyman coming to terms with a family tragedy.
