Mangalore Today News Network

Feb 27, 2017: Barry Jenkins’ Moonlight  not, as it turned out, La La Land  won the best picture at the Academy Awards in a historic Oscar upset and an unprecedented fiasco that saw one winner swapped for another while the La La Land producers were in mid-speech.

But before that, it was a wonderful night at the Oscars 2017  ceremony as the 89th Academy Awards have changed its books, cutting down the racial lines with Viola Davis and Maharshela Ali winning Oscars in the Best Supporting Actors category. Meanwhile, favourites Zootopia and La La Land register their wins too. The Best Actress, Best Director, Best Original Score and Best Original Song went to La La Land among other awards.

From record-breaking nominations of 14 slots for La La Land to a likely shift of focus from the ghosts of #OscarsSoWhite this year, the Academy committee has upped the excitement by leaps and bounds in this edition.
