Moonlight, Viola Davis, Mahershala Ali Among 2017 Oscar Winners

Posted by Wilson Morales

Hosted by Jimmy Kimmel, the 89th Oscars were held on Sunday, February 26, 2017, at the Dolby Theatre at Hollywood & Highland Center in Hollywood, and were televised live on the ABC Television Network. The Oscars came to a crazy ending when Warren Beatty read the wrong winner for Best Picture. He somehow had the Emma Stone/La La Land envelope and said La La Land was the winner, when in actuality, Moonlight had won Best Picture, becoming the first film from a black writer-director to win best picture with an all-black cast.



The film beat out “La La Land,” “Hidden Figures,” “Manchester by the Sea,” “Arrival,” “Hacksaw Ridge,” “Hell or High Water,” “Lion,” and “Fences.” It also won Best Adapted Screenplay for writer Barry Jenkins and author Tarell Alvin McCraney and Best Supporting Actor for Mahershala Ali.,

Viola Davis, after two previous nominations, finally went home a winner. She won Best Supporting Actress for her role in Fences.

The last time two Black actors won was in 2007 when Forest Whitaker won Best Actor for King of Scotland and Jennifer Hudson won Best Supporting Actress for Dreamgirls.

Having gain some momentum with his SAG win, Denzel Washington lost out in the Best Actor race to Manchester By The Sea’s Casey Affleck, who had been dominating the category in other award shows and critics organizations.

At 32 years old, Damien Chazelle is the youngest director to win the Best Director trophy for La La Land. The last 32 year old to win was 86 years ago — Norman Taurog for the film Skippy in 1931 but he is older by a few months.

The 89th Oscar presenters included Amy Adams, Riz Ahmed, Javier Bardem, Halle Berry, John Cho, Leonardo DiCaprio, Jamie Dornan, Chris Evans, Gael García Bernal, Samuel L. Jackson, Scarlett Johansson, Dakota Johnson, Dwayne Johnson, Felicity Jones, Brie Larson, Shirley MacLaine, Leslie Mann, Kate McKinnon, Janelle Monáe, David Oyelowo, Mark Rylance, Hailee Steinfeld, Emma Stone, Charlize Theron, Alicia Vikander, Jennifer Aniston, Jason Bateman, Warren Beatty, Sofia Boutella, Matt Damon, Faye Dunaway, Michael J. Fox, Ryan Gosling, Salma Hayek, Taraji P. Henson, Dev Patel, Seth Rogen, Octavia Spencer, Meryl Streep, and Vince Vaughn.

Additionally, Sara Bareilles, John Legend, Lin-Manuel Miranda and Auli’i Cravalho, Sting and Justin Timberlake performed during the show.

The 89th Oscars winners are marked in BLACK.
