Oscars 2017: Complete List Of Winners!
From earning Leonardo DiCaprio his first ever Academy for Best Actor to being globally slandered as #OscarsSoWhite, the biggest cinematic global recognition has come a long way since last year. The stage is set, the red carpet is laid and Jimmy Kimmel is all in readiness to host what’s going to be one evening to be remembered for many. It's the 89th Academy Awards!
The fight for Academy has never been this close. From major creative awards to all technical recognitions, the contention for Oscars is largely cliff hanging. As the event is underway, we bring you all the live updates right from Hollywood’s Dolby Theatre. With supremely accomplished works like Moonlight, La La Land or Manchester By The Sea to captivating performances from Casey Affleck, Emma Stone or Denzel Washington, let’s find out who’s going home with that trophy in hands:
Even the official twitter feed of Academy couldn't take the confusion. And even they announced La La Land as the Best Picture before the drama unfolded.
Huge drama towards the end at the Oscars. Warren Beatty does a Steve Harvey as he announces La La Land as the best picture. As it turns out, it was a mistake. While team La La Land went up on stage, collected the honor and producers gave their speeches, it was later rectified that it isn't the winner. The Best Picture at 89th Academy Awards was in fact-
Best Picture - Moonlight
Nominees: Arrival, Fences, Hacksaw Ridge, La La Land, Hidden Figures, Hell or High Water, Lion, Manchester By The Sea
Here's how the drama panned out
Warren explains that he was handed over the Best Actress envelope which obviously read Emma Stone. He thus got confused and announced La La Land as the winner. In an episode of complete heartbreak and rather an embarrassment for team La La Land, it was Moonlight then finally took the biggest honor home.
Last year's Best Actor Leonardo DiCaprio announces the Best Actress this year and here's who takes the honor home-
Best Actress in a Leading Role - Emma Stone - La La Land

Of the two awards the film has won and amongst the more it is going to win, cinematography is truly truly deserved.

Best Documentary Short Subject - The White Helmets
Seth Rogen and Michael J Fox are on stage to present the Best Film Editing. And the award goes to
