“Moonlight” bagged the best picture award at the 89th Academy Awards, which would go down in history as one of the most politically-charged ceremonies in recent years. In terms of sheer numbers, however, “La La Land,” which was mistakenly announced as the winner of the best picture award, emerged as a clear front-runner, winning in six of the 14 categories it had been nominated for — including best director and best actress.
While Mahershala Ali became the first Muslim actor to win an Oscar, Viola Davis became the first black woman to win an Oscar, Emmy and Tony for acting.
Talk show host Jimmy Kimmel, who hosted the Oscars for the first time, had some witty opening monologues prepared ahead of time. Kimmel, who targeted Donald Trump several times during the night, concluded his set by taking a jab at the president’s tweeting habits.
“Some of you will get to come up here on this stage tonight and give a speech that the President of the United States will tweet about in all caps during his 5:00 A.M. bowel movement tomorrow,” he said.
