Full list of 2017 Oscar results
Contrary to many people's predictions, Moonlight was named Best Picture, the top prize at the 89th Academy Awards, instead of heavyweight contender La La Land.
After a long time of being criticized as “OscarSoWhite” (Oscar is biased towards white candidates), the results of this year's awards ceremony will probably make many people satisfied because the contributions of black artists have been more properly recognized, with the typical victory of Moonlight, a film about a gay black boy, living in a poor neighborhood in Miami, always struggling with his sexual instinct.
