Oscars 2017: the winners in full

And the winner is... or is it? Moonlight wins best picture after La La Land is mistakenly read out.

27 February 2017

Moonlight (2016)

Oscar night 2017 came to a surprise ending as Moonlight won best picture after Faye Dunaway and Warren Beatty mistakenly presented the award to La La Land. Amid much confusion, Beatty returned to the podium to admit the error, which arose after being handed the envelope for the previous award.

As expected, Damien Chazelle’s Tinseltown musical won a slew of awards, including best actress for Emma Stone and best director, but it missed out on best picture to Barry Jenkins’ Miami-set coming-of-age drama. Moonlight also won best supporting actor for Mahershala Ali and best adapted screenplay.

The award for best actor went to Casey Affleck in the family drama Manchester by the Sea, which also took best original screenplay for Kenneth Lonergan.

Viola Davis won best supporting actress for her role in Denzel Washington’s race drama Fences.

La La Land’s final tally of six Oscars included technical awards for its cinematography, its production design, its score and also for the song ‘City of Stars’. Another multiple winner was Mel Gibson’s war film Hacksaw Ridge, which won best editing and best sound mixing.

Best foreign language film went to Asghar Farhadi’s The Salesman, while best documentary feature was won by O.J.: Made in America. Zootopia won best animated feature.

Moonlight, La La Land and Manchester by the Sea all first screened to UK audiences at the BFI London Film Festival. Other LFF films winning awards were Arrival, which won best sound editing, and The Salesman.

Clare Stewart, Director of the BFI London Film Festival comments: “We are beyond proud that BFI London Film Festival was the first stop outside North America on Moonlight’s magnificent journey to Academy Award success and extend our warmest congratulations to Barry Jenkins and team as well as the Festival alumni filmmakers from La La Land, Manchester by the Sea, Arrival and The Salesman on their Oscar wins.”
