La La Land is not on Netflix in the US, but it is still easy to watch online. The Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone-led title is available to stream on Hulu and can also be rented or purchased on Apple TV and Amazon Prime Video. Whether one is revisiting its catchy songs, remarkable dance sequences, or grounded love story, these platforms allow viewers to enjoy the film anytime.

Directed by Damien Chazelle, La La Land was a commercial success, grossing over $509 million worldwide, with $151 million from domestic markets alone at the time of its release. Critically, it was equally beloved and was a darling of the awards circuit. The film won seven Golden Globe Awards. At the BAFTAs, it led with five wins, and finally, the icing on the cake came with its six victories at the 89th Academy Awards. Its Oscar triumph, however, was marred by a controversy.

The La La Land Oscar controversy revisited

The La La Land Oscar controversy, famously dubbed "envelopegate," unfolded when presenters Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway were handed the wrong envelope and mistakenly announced La La Land as Best Picture. The film’s cast and crew began their acceptance speeches, only to be interrupted when it was revealed that Moonlight was the actual winner. The correct envelope was displayed on stage, confirming the mix-up. The incident became one of the most talked-about moments in Oscars history, overshadowing the celebrations for La La Land’s six wins that night.
