Amid a Golden Globes clean sweep for "La La Land," director Damien Chazelle shows love for New Jersey. The Mercer County native could make history as awards season kicks into high gear.

La La Land’s backlash arrived a little later than expected this awards season, but that didn’t stop the jazzy bittersweet musical from claiming a top prize at the 2017 Golden Globe awards. In one of the least surprising moments of the evening, Damien Chazelle’s Whiplash follow-up received the award for Best Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy. Next stop: The Oscars, most likely.

Most of the attention in the Oscar race so far has been focused on Moonlight, and with good reason; it is an amazing film. But don’t count out La La Land just yet; the movie is a feel-good crowd-pleaser, and these awards are, after all, popularity contests. Tonight Damien Chazelle, director of La La Land took home the Golden Globe for Best Director, making this year’s Oscar race that much more interesting.

Dennis and Judi kicked off the final hour of the week by interviewing their producer Alex Dutton about his new single that they debuted on the show earlier in the day entitled "Baby Can You."

Jim was discussing this list on air that Justin Hare found regarding famous people from New Jersey.
