‘Moonlight’ wins best picture Oscar, beating ‘La La Land’

And finally, despite being up against a La La Land in a category in which musicals normally triumph, he won.

PricewaterhouseCoopers has named names for Sunday night’s Oscar mistake, putting the blame for the mix-up on the best picture announcement on Brian Cullinan.

Only two people actually know the contents of the Academy Awards’ envelopes.

It was the Oscar mix-up heard all around the world and has unfortunately taken some of the wind out of “Moonlight’s” sails. Oscar Awards 2017: Meryl Streep won an Academy Award for these 3 movies!

Trump’s presence loomed large at the three and a half hour show as host Jimmy Kimmel fired off political zingers and even tweeted at the Republican president, getting no immediate response.

The film’s lead actress has also said she would snub the event, even though the travel order is now on ice.

In an interview on TV show Fox & Friends, to air today, Mr Trump said: “It just seems like the other side, whenever they’re losing badly, they always pull out the race card”.

“If every one of you took a minute to reach out to one person you disagree with … and have a positive, considerate conversation … we could make America great again”, he said.

But in the meantime, Dunaway still thought Beatty was being cute, and she didn’t have time for that shit. Matt Damon’s (left of center row) jaw literally dropped when he heard the news, while Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson (right) looked nearly angry at what was happening.

“La La Land” was named as the best picture victor before “Moonlight” was rightfully announced as the victor. “I did much better with Hispanics, I did much better with African Americans”.

The diverse slate of nominees will help the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences put to rest the #OscarsSoWhite controversy that has dogged the awards gala for the past two years. In October, the film was released in only four theaters and has since spread to 650 theaters in the United States; distribution rights have also been sold in at least 20 overseas territories.

Preliminary national ratings, adjusted for time zones across the country, revealed 32.9 million viewers tuned in Sunday night to the almost four-hour ceremony on ABC, hosted for the first time by the network’s late-night host Jimmy Kimmel. The ceremony will be televised live on the ABC Network and this years’ host is Jimmy Kimmel.

He said, “Wow, I want to thank my teacher and my professors, they told me is that it’s not about you, it’s about the characters, you are in service to your character and your stories, I’m so blessed to have had this opportunity”.
