Westport’s Justin Paul Wins Golden Globe Award

Justin Paul (c), a 2003 Staples High School graduate, was among winners tonight of the Golden Globes best original song award for “City of Stars” in the film “La La Land.” He accepted the award with composer Justin Hurwitz (l) and fellow lyricist Benj Pasek. “City of Stars” is the Ryan Gosling — Emma Stone duet that anchors the film’s emotional narrative, “La La Land” also won the Globe for Best Original Score as well as five other awards, including best-actor awards for Gosling and Stone and best musical or comedy. Its total of seven awards was a record breaker for the event. No film has won more than four Globes since 1979, when the crime drama “Midnight Express” received six.
