'La La Land': Inspiring People to Drink
Jordan Horowitz, producer of La La Land tripped over his words when presented with the Best Film award, suggesting the feelgood musical could drive viewers to the bottle. "I think it’s our responsibility as artists and creators to create work that inspires joy, and hope, and empathy, and challenges people to drink," he said. Realizing his mistake, he styled it out with a jovial assertion that film "inspires people to drink."
