director Jenkins and Tarell Alvin McCraney -- reflected on diversity in their speech.

"...all you people out there who feel like there's no mirror for you, that your life is not reflected, the Academy has your back, the ACLU (American Civil Liberties Union) has your back, we have your back."

McCraney dedicated the award to "all those black and brown boys and girls and non-gender conforming" people.

The original screenplay award went to "Manchester by the Sea" director Kenneth Lonergan.

"Zootopia", an allegorical story about celebrating equality, won the best animated feature award.

"La La Land" also won cinematography and production design Oscars.

Mel Gibson's World War II drama "Hacksaw Ridge" won two trophies -- for film editing and sound mixing.

"Arrival", which had entered the competition with eight nominations, won just one trophy for sound editing.

"The Jungle Book", starring Indian-American child actor Neel Sethi, won an Oscar for visual effects while "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" bagged the best costume design trophy.

The best documentary feature went to "OJ: Made in America" while the best documentary short Oscar went to "The White Helmets", about Syrian volunteer group of the same name.

The group, however, had to skip the ceremony due to Trump's travel ban.

Oscars for live action short and animated short went to "Sing" and "Piper", respectively.
