Dopo il verdetto della National Board of Review e della New York Film Critics Circle, ci pensa l'associazione di Los Angeles a mescolare le carte in tavola.
Stavolta a trionfare come Miglior Film è il Moonlight di Barry Jenkins a dispetto dei precedenti due riconoscimenti della critica statunitense.
Non solo il film di Jenkins si porta a casa ben 4 riconoscimenti importanti (Film, Regia, Attore Non Protagonista a Mahershala Ali e Fotografia), ma la più grande sorpresa arriva con due categorie attoriali; da sempre organizzazione tradizionalmente anti-convenzionale nelle proprie scelte, la Los Angeles Film Critica Association da i premi rispettivamente al Miglior Attore e Miglior Attrice Non Protagonista a Adam Driver per Paterson e alla giovane Lily Gladstone per il Certain Women di Kelly Reichardt.
Tra i secondi classificati, grande presenza/assenza di La La Land e Manchester By The Sea,
Curiosità: dopo National Board of Review, New York e Los Angeles, l'unico riconoscimento in comune è quello alla Miglior Regia a Barry Jenkins, ogni giorno sempre più forte candidato a rubare lo scettro di "frontrunner" a Damien Chazelle nella categoria:
