Moonlight, Viola Davis, Mahershala Ali Among 2017 Oscar Winners<\/strong>Posted by Wilson Morales<\/p>\n

February 27, 2017<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

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\u00a0ending when Warren Beatty read the wrong winner for Best Picture. He\u00a0somehow had the Emma Stone\/La La Land envelope and said La La Land was the winner, when in actuality, Moonlight had won Best Picture,\u00a0becoming the first film from a black writer-director to win best picture with an all-black cast.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The film\u00a0beat out \u201cLa La Land,\u201d \u201cHidden Figures,\u201d \u201cManchester by the Sea,\u201d \u201cArrival,\u201d \u201cHacksaw Ridge,\u201d \u201cHell or High Water,\u201d \u201cLion,\u201d and \u201cFences.\u201d It also won Best Adapted Screenplay for writer Barry Jenkins and author Tarell Alvin McCraney and Best Supporting Actor for\u00a0Mahershala Ali.,<\/p>\n

Viola Davis, after two previous nominations, finally went home a winner. She won Best Supporting Actress for her role in Fences.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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 \u2014 Norman Taurog for the film Skippy in 1931 but he is older by a few months.<\/p>\n

The 89th\u00a0Oscar presenters included Amy Adams, Riz Ahmed, Javier Bardem, Halle Berry, John Cho, Leonardo DiCaprio, Jamie Dornan, Chris Evans, Gael Garc\u00eda Bernal, Samuel L. Jackson, Scarlett Johansson, Dakota Johnson, Dwayne Johnson, Felicity Jones, Brie Larson, Shirley MacLaine, Leslie Mann, Kate McKinnon, Janelle Mon\u00e1e, David Oyelowo, Mark Rylance, Hailee Steinfeld, Emma Stone, Charlize Theron, Alicia Vikander, Jennifer Aniston,\u00a0Jason Bateman, Warren Beatty,\u00a0Sofia Boutella, Matt Damon, Faye Dunaway,\u00a0Michael J. Fox, Ryan Gosling,\u00a0Salma Hayek, Taraji P. Henson, Dev Patel, Seth Rogen, Octavia Spencer, Meryl Streep, and Vince Vaughn.<\/p>\n

Additionally, Sara Bareilles, John Legend, Lin-Manuel Miranda and Auli\u2019i Cravalho, Sting and Justin Timberlake performed during the show.<\/p>\n

The 89th Oscars winners are marked in BLACK.<\/strong><\/p>\n
