Extremely dull - what makes it deserving of awards??

Rating: 1/10 (11 March 2017)

I struggled to keep awake during the movie - and that is not how a good film is supposed to be. La La Land was not atrocious but I'm giving it 1 star because it was the first film ever that made me regret spending time and money on. If it weren't for all the hype I might've given it 4.
Was there a point in making this film? There is nothing special La La Land is trying to convey, the acting is bland, the songs are dull, the storyline is overused and predictable, all in all it is a film of clichés. I seriously cannot believe this won so many awards - should I be worried about the future of film or am I missing an important point?
