Oscars 2017: 'La La Land' wins 6 awards but 'Moonlight' takes top prize

Film

Arrival
Fences
Hacksaw Ridge
Hell or High Water
Hidden Figures
La La Land 
Lion
Manchester by the Sea
Moonlight - WINNER

That has got be the biggest faux pas today (ever?) for the Oscars. After accidentally announcing La La Land, it turns out that Moonlight won Best Film. Everyone from the cast and crew of La La Land and Moonlight to us sitting at our desks is not sure what happened. A case mislabeled envelopes?

Warren Beatty apologises. Jimmy Kimmel assumes all responsibility. We're going to get some coffee and process this turnaround.

Congratulations to Moonlight! Maybe there is hope for the Academy after all.

Actress in a leading role

Emma Stone, La La Land - WINNER
Natalie Portman, Jackie
Ruth Negga, Loving
Meryl Streep, Florence Foster Jenkins
Isabelle Huppert, Elle

That is the upset of the day. For a show that's done the right thing by the big categories this year, this is a bizarre choice. Not because Emma Stone is not good — she delivers a wonderful performance in La La Land — but it doesn't begin to compare with Isabelle Huppert.

Actor in a leading role

Casey Affleck, Manchester by the Sea - WINNER
Andrew Garfield, Hacksaw Ridge
Ryan Gosling, La La Land
Viggo Mortensen, Captain Fantastic
Denzel Washington, Fences

This is where Hollywood shows its hand. Most press coverage of this award season has conveniently sidestepped sexual harassment allegations against Casey Affleck and the man has won every acting award leading up to the Oscars. This doesn't sit well alongside all the Donald Trump bashing by the top players in Hollywood. The industry has been particularly vocal about its politics this year. Awarding Affleck calls for deeper introspection on its part.

Director

Denis Villeneuve, Arrival
Mel Gibson, Hacksaw Ridge
Damien Chazelle, La La Land - WINNER
Barry Jenkins, Moonlight
Kenneth Lonergan, Manchester by the Sea

It's hard to not see this coming. Chazelle might be the youngest director to win this award but La La Land has been sweeping prizes since mid-2016. Chazelle is coming off wins for Best Director at the BAFTAs, the Director's Guild Awards, The Golden Globes and the Critics' Choice Awards.

Adapted screenplay

Lion, Luke Davies
Arrival, Eric Heisserer
Moonlight, Barry Jenkins, Tarell Alvin McCraney - WINNER
Hidden Figures, Theodore Melfi and Allison Schroeder
Fences, August Wilson

Amy Adams on stage. Criminal to not nominate her for Arrival.

Original screenplay

Manchester by the Sea, Kenneth Lonergan - WINNER
Hell or High Water, Taylor Sheridan
La La Land, Damien Chazelle
20th Century Women, Mike Mills
The Lobster, Efthymis Filippou and Yorgos Lanthimos 

First Oscar for Manchester by the Sea, beating out favourite La La Land.

Ben Affleck and Matt Damon on stage, with Kimmel vigorously attempting to play Damon off stage.

Original song

‘City of Stars’, La La Land - WINNER
‘How Far I’ll Go’, Moana
‘Audition’, ‘The Fools Who Dream’, La La Land
‘The Empty Chair’, Jim: The James Foley Story
‘Can’t Stop the Feeling!’, Trolls

Original score

Justin Hurwitz, La La Land - WINNER
Mica Levi, Jackie
Nicholas Britell, Moonlight
Volker Bertelmann and Dustin O'Halloran, Lion
Thomas Newman, Passengers

Third Oscar of the night for La La Land. Try not to hum the score for the rest of the day. It's impossible.

Ha! A group of seemingly unsuspecting tourists have just walked into the ceremony.

Animated feature film

Kubo and the Two Strings
Moana
My Life as a Zucchini
The Red Turtle

This was a tough category. But Zootopia is a deserving winner and its commentary is quite relevant in the current political environment in the US.

This is director Asghar Farhadi's second win in this category. He previously won for A Separation. The director decided to boycott the ceremony following Trump's travel ban. The directors of all five films in this category denounced the "climate of fanaticism and nationalism" in the US and other parts of the world.

"I became an artist, because we are the only profession that celebrates what it means to live a life." - Viola Davis.

Actress in a supporting role

Nicole Kidman, Lion
Octavia Spencer, Hidden Figures
Michelle Williams, Manchester by the Sea

This is Davis' first win. She has now won the triad of American acting awards- Emmy, Tony and Oscar.

This is it. Please stand by for powerful Viola Davis speech.

Looks like despite matching Titanic's record for nominations, La La Land will not break the film's record for most wins.

Kimmel gets the crowd cheering for the "highly overrated" Meryl Streep. A standing ovation.

Post the presidential election, Kimmel is reaching out and sorting out differences with Damon with a dig at The Great Wall.

"This is being broadcast in 225 countires that now hate us," says Kimmel.

He has plans, Jimmy.
