Oscars: And the winners of the 89th Academy Awards are…

February 27, 2017 by Robert Kojder

Let’s address the elephant in the room: there was Steve Harvey-reminiscent chaos last night during the Best Picture announcement at the Academy Awards as La La Land was somehow announced as receiving the Oscar… only for producer Jordan Horowitz to correct the mistake midway through his acceptance speech when he revealed that Barry Jenkins’ Moonlight had actually received the honour.
