Three months later and the aftermath of what happened on the night of this year’s Academy Awards is still being felt in Hollywood – Warren Beatty, who was on stage when the wrong card was given to him and subsequently read out by Faye Dunaway, was asked repeatedly on the press tour for his latest film, Rules Don’t Apply.
And now, in typical hilarious but loving spirit, Screen Junkies have released their honest trailer for La La Land and, of course, couldn’t get through it without a…
