Going to 11: ‘La La Land’ will tie the record for most Academy Awards (and destroy everything in its path)

Here’s a question for ones who dream: Why are Oscar records made? 

La La Land, nominated for 14 Academy Awards, isn’t likely to break the Oscars record of 11 wins by a single film, shared by Titanic (1997), The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (2003), and Ben-Hur (1959). So that record might not be made to be broke, at least not this year. But it can still be tied.

That said, a bit of madness is still key to this prediction for the 89th Academy Awards: La La Land will join those hallowed films in sharing the record, winning 11 of the 14 categories for which it is nominated.
