Last night at the 89th Academy Awards, hosted by Jimmy Kimmel, Oscar winners were announced for the best in film for the past year. While Kimmel has hosted the Emmys, this was his first time hosting the Oscars. After La La Land sweeping up at the Golden Globes, with fourteen Oscar nominations it was speculated they would sweep here as well. The film went home with six Oscars. They were also part of the big talk of the night, after giving an acceptance speech for “winning” Best Picture, when moments later it was announced that there was an error with the envelopes and that Moonlight was the actual winner.
Top film honors went to Moonlight for Best Picture, Zootopia for Best Animated Feature, O.J.: Made In America for Best Documentary Feature, and The Salesman for Best Foreign Language Film.
Individual Oscars went to Damien Chazelle for Best Director for La La Land, Casey Affleck for Leading Actor in Manchester By the Sea, and Emma Stone for Leading Actress in La La Land .
Supporting actor nods went to Mahershala Ali for Moonlight and Viola Davis in Fences.
