La
La
Land's
dream
award
journey
was
finally
stopped
by
Moonlight
at
the
89th
Annual
Academy
Awards
2017
on
Sunday
night.
Moonlight
grabs
the
Oscar
for
the
Best
Picture
beating
the
favourite
La
La
Land
for
the
most
prestigious
award
of
Hollywood
in
terms
of
motion
pictures.
But
the
La
La
Land
director
Damien
Chazelle
creates
another
record
in
the
history
of
Oscar,
if
not
with
the
movie,
then
on
his
own.
He
becomes
the
youngest
one
to
ever
win
an
Oscar
for
Best
Director
at
the
age
of
just
32.
Emma
Stone
as
predicted
wins
her
first
Oscar
as
the
Best
Actress
for
the
movie
La
La
Land.
On
the
other
hand
the,
Manchester
by
the
Sea
actor
Casey
Affleck,
wins
Oscar
in
the
Best
Actor
category.
Emma
Stone
has
thanked
the
entire
team
of
La
La
Land
for
winning
her
first
Oscar
as
the
Best
Actress.
She
also
mentioned
her
co-actor
Ryan
Gosling
for
her
award
win.
Mahershala
Ali
and
Viola
Davis
also
land
their
first
Oscar
awards
of
their
career
for
their
supporting
roles
in
movies
Moonlight
and
Fences
respectively.
However,
this
is
in
stark
contrast
to
the
Oscars
2016
where
no
black
artist
had
even
been
nominated.
