Happy Ending for the Oscars: Moonlight wins Best Picture, La La Land Wins 6 including Best Director, Actress

Share

Barry Jenkins’ “Moonlight” was the surprise winner of the 2017 Academy Award for Best Picture. On a wild night in the Dolby Theater, “Moonlight” snatched victory from “La La Land.” Best Director went to Damien Chazelle for “La La Land,” which also won Best Choreography and Best Song.

Funny after months of campaigning and carrying, everything works out the way it should. All the films get something and Hollywood has a happy ending after all.
