The Academy Awards at least ended with a bang, didn't they? The show turned out not to be the political firestorm we all expected it to be, with the exception of a few Kimmel gags and the Best Foreign Language winner, which went to The Salesman. The biggest shock moment of the night was saved for last when the Best Picture winner, read by Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway in a Bonnie & Clyde reunion, was announced as La La Land. But oops! A snafu caused a lot of commotion on stage as it was revealed the real winner was actually Moonlight. While it may be fun to blame Beatty, who is probably all embarrassed and stuff, the mistake wasn't actually his fault. A heel turn would have been awesome, but no. It was probably Putin.
Don't feel too bad for La La Land, though, as the Hollywood darling still came away with six wins including Best Director for Damien Chazelle, Best Actress for Emma Stone, plus Original Song and Original Score. Moonlight obviously won the big one, but also earned Best Adapted Screenplay and Mahershala Ali a win for Best Supporting Actor.
I think pretty much everything else went as expected, except in the technical categories. The full list of winners is below:
