2017 #Oscars: ‘Moonlight’ wins best picture after ‘La La Land’ incorrectly called + Complete winners list

“Moonlight” won the best picture Oscar after “La La Land” was incorrectly named. The “La La Land” team were in the process of giving thanks when it was announced that the wrong film had been read and that “Moonlight” was the real winner.

The 89th Academy Awards have come to an end, with “La La Land” earning six Oscars including director. “Moonlight” was awarded the best picture Oscar after it was erroneously awarded to “La La Land” in a moment of onstage confusion.

Casey Affleck took home the lead actor award for “Manchester By the Sea,” while Emma Stone won the lead actress garland for “La La Land.”

The night’s first major award went to “Moonlight’s” Mahershala Ali, who took home the trophy for supporting actor. Viola Davis won the supporting actress Oscar for her work in “Fences.”

Elsewhere, “O.J.: Made in America” was named the winner in the feature documentary category, while Iran’s “The Salesman” won the foreign-language film Oscar. The latter’s director, Asghar Farhadi, declined to attend the ceremony in the wake of the Trump administration’s travel ban.
