These are easy films to enjoy; I owe my years of fencing practice (and more than a few eccentricities of my wardrobe) to indulging in this subgenre since childhood....

The Hollywood Foreign Press Association spread the love around, but the season’s three biggest contenders—La La Land,Moonlight, andManchester by the Sea—all had big showings in the major categories, so not any surprises on that front.
