Shyamalan jokes he directed Oscars’ shocking best film mix-up

The awards were hosted by famous night show host Jimmy Kimmel, who kept the show humorous.

“When I first met Matt, I was the fat one”, Kimmel recalled, as he urged the country to unite despite a heated political climate. Casey Affleck must be favourite, thanks to a stunning performance in downbeat indie-drama Manchester by the Sea. “Nice dress by the way – is that an Ivanka?”

Oscars host Jimmy Kimmel promised he would use his platform to make political statements and he delivered.

The telecast’s host popped the evening’s Trump cherry with a few digs at the president during his opening monologue. “I mean, remember past year when it seemed like the Oscars were racist?”

It depends. If DIRECTV NOW offers a local ABC affiliate in your area, then yes, you can live stream the 2017 Academy Awards. Streep hilariously rose to accept applause.

Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway took the Oscar stage, noting the 50th anniversary of their classic film “Bonnie and Clyde”, to announce the victor of best picture on Sunday night at the Academy Awards.

In addition, Justin Timberlake, Lin-Manuel Miranda and Sting introduced the nominees for Best Original Song. “Some of you get to come on this stage and make a speech that the President of the United States will tweet about in all caps during his 5 a.m. bowel movement”, Kimmel said.

Mahershala Ali of “Moonlight” poses with his Oscar for Best Supporting Actor at the 89th Academy Awards in Hollywood, California February 27, 2017.

Will “La La Land” win? The musical love letter to Los Angeles, whose stars Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling are nominated for best actress and best actor, could end up being the most Oscar-lauded film ever.

“Moonlight”, seen as the film most likely to upset “La La Land” based on its artistic merit alone, has grossed just $21 million, the 102nd film of 2016.

It was a message echoed by the Hidden Figures cast earlier in the night, when they appeared alongside the 98-year-old retired NASA mathematician whose life partially inspired the film. I punched “send” on my own story for the paper, went into the kitchen and heard someone on the microphone say “Moonlight” had won best picture.

A historic win, as Ali is the very first Muslim actor to win this award, for his stunning performance in Moonlight! “Who could earn not just a trophy, but also a place in the history books, should his or her name be pulled out of one of those envelopes?”
