OSCARS 2017

89th Academy Awards (OSCARS)

 

 89th Academy Awards celebrated the biggest and best names in the movie business on 26 feb 2017. The award ceremony was held at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles. Casey Affleck won the Best Actor Award for 'Manchester By The Sea' and Emma Stone walked away with the Best Actress Award for her performance in 'La La Land'. The ceremony ended with much drama - 'La La Land' was initially declared as the Best Picture, but it was soon announced that there was an error and the Best Picture Award was, in fact, won by 'Moonlight'. While confusion prevailed for a while, the makers of 'La La Land' graciously left the stage and made way for makers of 'Moonlight'. Damien Chazelle won the Best Director Award for 'La La Land'.

The evening ended with 'La La Land' taking home six awards while 'Moonlight' won three golden statuettes.

The ceremony was hosted by Jimmy Kimmel who took quite a few jabs at the US President Donald Trump.
