La La Land’s Damien Chazelle Becomes Youngest Best Director Oscar Winner

O.J.: Made in America not only snagged the prize for documentary feature but also the distinction of being the longest film to ever win an Oscar, with a running time of seven hours 47 minutes. “I opened the envelope and it said Emma Stone, ‘La Land.’ That’s why I took such a long look at Faye and at you”.

The cast of the coming-of-age film seemed stunned as they then made their way to the podium as the La La Land cast filed quietly off stage and the real winner’s writer and director Barry Jenkins gave a speech.

The pair then stand off stage at opposite sides and hand envelopes to the respective presenters as each category is announced.

Until we find out how this happened, the next couple of days may not be any calmer – or less insane. Jordan insisted repeatedly, “This was not a joke, Moonlight is the winner”.

Thankfully the proper card was released and the award went into the hands of the “Moonlight” cast, producers and directors. PwC has two sets of envelopes at the ceremony with the winners’ names, and the presenters were apparently. In a profile last week, Ruiz spoke about how meticulous they are when it comes to the results.

The Salesman won as Best Foreign Film.

The 89th Academy Awards, or “Oscars”, will be held on February 26.

“Very clearly even in my dreams this couldn’t be true, but to hell with dreams – this is true”, Jenkins said. And Beatty got up to the microphone to offer an explanation.

“So under these circumstances, I don’t believe we wouldn’t see a split in sales between the two movies, but rather double sales overall”. And so he did. “He came upstairs and showed me the card”, Mr. Jenkins said in the press interview room moments after the telecast ended. I knew I’d screw this up…

“I will say, the folks from La La Land were so gracious. If you see one movie, there’s nothing to stop you seeing the other one the next day”.

“I think they were focused so hard on politics that they didn’t get the act together at the end”, President Trump told the website.

Moonlight is the story of a young black man from childhood to adulthood as he struggles with life while growing up in a rough neighborhood of Miami.

Emma Stone won her first Oscar on Sunday for her lead role as a struggling actress who falls in love with a jazz musician in musical romance “La La Land”. This year’s Oscars showed an improvement in diversity, and Kimmel sarcastically thanked Trump for giving the award show a better rep.
