UPDATE with list of winners: Lionsgate’s La La Land has won the Best Movie of the Year award at the Capri, Hollywood International Film Festival in Italy. The musical drama directed by Damien Chazelle took six total awards during the fest, including today for Best Actress Emma Stone. The pic also nabbed Best Ensemble Cast, Best Photography for Linus Sandgren, Best Score for Justin Hurwitz and Best Song for “City of Stars.”
The Weinstein Company’s Lion took five honors, including the Humanitarian Award. Dev Patel and Nicole Kidman won supporting actor and actress, respectively, and Saroo Brierley and Luke Davies won for their adapted screenplay from Brierley’s book. Sia’s song “Never Give Up” took the Capri Peace Award.
Earlier today, sources told Deadline both movies were running neck-and-neck for the most prizes at the fest, which has been trickling out winners over the holiday frame. Both crowd-pleasers, La La Land and Lion have been close before: The former won the People’s Choice Award in Toronto in September, and Lion was the runner-up.
