Hollywood celebrated its biggest night – the 89th Academy Awards on Sunday. The award ceremony was held at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles. While Casey Affleck bagged the Best Actor Award for ‘Manchester By The Sea’, Emma Stone walked away with the Best Actress Award for her act in ‘La La Land’.
The event ended with a bit of drama as ‘La La Land’ was at first declared as the Best Picture. However, it was soon announced that there was a mistake and the Best Picture Award was won by ‘Moonlight’. The announcement left people in shock for a while; however, the makers of ‘La La Land’ courteously left the stage with making way for the makers of ‘Moonlight’.
Damien Chazelle bagged the Best Director Award for ‘La La Land’. Notably, ‘La La Land’ took home six awards while ‘Moonlight’ won three golden statuettes. The ceremony was hosted by Jimmy Kimmel.
