Big Oscar Night For Black Hollywood, La La Land, Moonlight [See Full List Of Winners]

Must read

It’s Oscar night, which only means one thing ― some people in Hollywood are taking home some little gold men.

In one of the most shocking moments in Oscar history, “Moonlight” won Best Picture after “La La Land” was first mistakenly announced as the winner.

Meanwhile, Casey Affleck won Best Actor, Emma Stone nabbed the award for Best Actress and Damien Chazelle took home the award for Best Director.

History was made at the 2017 Academy Awards, too, with a record number of wins by black stars, and, ultimately by awarding the most diverse group of Oscar winners since the show began in 1929.

History was not only made by the number of collective wins among stars of color but also by shattered records within many of the individual categories, too. Barry Jenkins and Tarell Alvin McCraney won for Best Adapted Screenplay for “Moonlight,” which also won for Best Picture, Viola Davis took home the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress for her portrayal in “Fences” becoming the first black woman to win an Oscar, Tony and Emmy award for acting, Mahershela Ali became the first black muslim actor to win an Oscar when he took home the award for Best Supporting Actor for his stunning role in “Moonlight” and director Ezra Edelman won alongside filmmaker Caroline Waterlow for Best Documentary Feature for “O.J.: Made in America.”

Until this year, the most diverse winners group occurred at the 2009 Academy Awards when three black stars won the Academy Award.

Jimmy Kimmel tackled the hosting job for the first time this year ― though if you watched him host the Emmys in 2012 and 2016, you pretty much knew what to expect.

In a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Kimmel said he’s going to try to find a way to feed the audience again in some way, recalling the PB&J sandwiches he brought to last year’s Emmys and the pizza Ellen DeGeneres ordered for the audience at the 2014 Academy Awards. And he kept true to his word as little bags of candy, cookies and doughnuts fell from the ceiling throughout the night.

As for political humor, the barrage of news surrounding the Trump administration had Kimmel waiting until the last minute to write his jokes.

“My guess is that there will probably be some new crazy thing we’re all talking about, so it really depends largely on what’s going on that week. And I would definitely make those decisions the day of or day before as to how much material I do and what my spin on it is,” he said.
