A month ago, La La Land made history at the Golden Globes by being the first film to win seventrophies. With nods in just about every conceivable category, including two best original song, it has a total of 14 nominations, thus matching the record held by All About Eve and Titanic.

　　一个月之前，在金球奖颁奖典礼上，《爱乐之城》因成为第一部赢得7座奖杯的电影而名垂史册。这部电影几乎获得了每一类想得到的奖项的认可，包括两首最佳原创歌曲，它共获得了14项提名，与《彗星美人》和《泰坦尼克号》的记录相当。

　　Next to Moonlight, Hidden Figures and Fences, all of which are best picture nominees, La La Land doesn’t look too progressive. However, the very fact that it doesn’t have an overt political message, but is still good enough to beguile awards bodies, is what makes La La Land so unusual.

　　与《月光男孩》、《隐藏人物》、《藩篱》等被提名为最佳影片的作品相比，《爱乐之城》看上去不太先进。然而，这部电影没有明显的政治讯息，但依然足够好到轻松获奖，正是这一事实使得《爱乐之城》如此独特。

　　At heart LA LA Land is a romantic comedy, however, the Academy has long been notorious for neglecting romantic comedies. Try to think of a recent boy-meets-girl comedy, which has been uplifting and un-ironic, without also being nauseating, and you’ll appreciate how special La La Land is.

　　《爱乐之城》本质上是一部浪漫喜剧，然而，权威人士一直因忽视爱情喜剧而臭名昭著。试着想想最近的一部关于男女恋情的喜剧，它既使人开心，又不会令人啼笑皆非，而且不会令人作呕，你就会明白《爱乐之城》是多么特别。

　　Chazelleuses the film’s first act to establish Mia and Seb’s individual careers and passions. When they finally get around to having a conversation, the audience is primed and ready for them to fall in love. And even then, the pacing has a relaxed, breezy confidence.

　　沙泽勒在第一幕就确定了米娅和赛博的个人事业和喜好。当他们最终抽出时间聊天的时候，观众就做好准备，他们将坠入爱河。即使在那个时候，电影的节奏依然传递着一种轻松愉快的自信。

　　LA LA LAND got those 14 Oscar nominations for its flowing camerawork, the Pop Art brightness of its costumes and production design, and the toe-tapping songs by Justin Hurwitz. But it’s the magic in that buoyant first hour that makes it worthy of the awards it has been and will be given: the magic of an exquisitely constructed comedy about two people who make beautiful music together.

　　《爱乐之城》因其顺畅的拍摄技巧、剧装和造型设计充满流行艺术的光辉，以及贾斯汀·赫维茨创作的轻松明快的歌曲而赢得了14项奥斯卡提名。然而，正是那轻快的第一个小时中的魔力使这部电影配得上它获得的以及那些即将获得的奖项：关于两个人共同创作美妙音乐的一部制作精良的喜剧的魔力。
