Navel-gazing in La La Land – Covenant February 27, 2017 by Fulcrum With the Oscars approaching, Showbiz America gears up for its annual Panathenaea — the doling out of awards for the best performances in honor of its various civic gods. Like its ancient Athenian counterpart, the Oscars pay tribute to a variety of deities, and this year the goddess par excellence seems to be none other than Lady Hollywood herself. With La La Land the clear front-runner in most major categories, the event gives America a chance to look in the mirror and ask why this particular story has stolen our hearts. Michael Gover.
