Houzz Call: Do These Oscar Contenders Remind You of Home?
Do you live in a home like one in ‘La La Land,’ ‘20th Century Women’ or ‘Manchester by the Sea’? Share your photos!
Movies can transport us into a distant world with their locations and sets. But sometimes movies can also feel familiar, highlighting a city or region we’ve visited or featuring a certain chair that looks just like the one we have at home. With Academy Award nominations right around the corner — they will be announced January 24 — we want to see if any of the contenders sure to be vying for this year’s awards remind you of home.
Calling all Houzzers: Do any of the following films look like home? Are there other movies from the past year that felt familiar? Upload your photos in the Comments — and even add your nomination predictions.

Mia’s 1920s Spanish Colonial apartment looks like one that an aspiring actress would dream to live in, with an added Technicolor layer the movie brings.

In 20th Century Women, Dorothea, played by Annette Bening, and son Jamie, played by Lucas Jade Zumann, live in a crumbling 1906 mansion in the coastal town of Santa Barbara, California. The year is 1979, and the house sees a lot of action, including the boarders Dorothea rents rooms to and the constant bustle of remodeling taking place throughout the house. Every morning Dorothea and Jamie sit together at the kitchen table to go over daily stock prices, as shown here.
