A-Town's Oscars 2017 predictions

The 2017 Academy Awards are upon us, and "La La Land" has won over critics and audiences everywhere. The big question on everyone's lips as we head into this evening's festivities is whether "La La Land," with 14 total nominations, will set the record for most Oscar wins. I took to Facebook Live today to offer my predictions, which follow below. Note: I do believe that "La La Land" will get at least 12 awards tonight, however, after reviewing the guesses I made during the Facebook Live session, I only predicted that they win 11 times. I suppose time will tell what the final results will be.
