The winners of the 89th Academy Awards have been announced in a thoroughly entertaining ceremony at Hollywood’s Dolby Theatre, hosted for the very first time by comedian and talk-show host, Jimmy Kimmel, who did an exemplary job in the difficult role.
With a record-equalling total of 14 nominations, the hugely acclaimed La La Land was of course the clear frontrunner going into the evening, though despite losing out in many of the technical categories – and the coveted Best Picture gong – still went away with a hugely impressive six awards, including wins for Best Director and Best Actress in a Leading Role.
In one of the most bizarre errors in OSCARS history, Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway initially announced that La La Land had taken home the night’s biggest prize for Best Picture and saw the La La Land producers well into their speeches before it was revealed that a major error had been made and Barry Jenkins’ Moonlight had in fact won the award.
Of course the evening’s most stirring portion is always the memorial to the great many talents the world has lost over the course of the last year, and this year was no different, with Sara Bareilles leading the In Memoriam tribute with a very moving rendition of Joni Mitchell’s Both Sides, Now.
