As the Oscars went on throughout the night, it looked like the night was going to go to La La Land as well, with the modern day movie musical raking in awards left and right, like Best Song, Best Score, Best Lead Actress, Best Director, and more.
In both the Best Picture and Best Director categories too, it was basically assumed at this point that the battle would be between either writer and director Barry Jenkins’ Moonlight and Damien Chazelle’s La La Land.
However, no one could have predicted the shocking conclusion of the night, when Best Picture was awarded.
As everyone is likely already aware, it was originally announced by presenters Faye Dunaway and Warren Beatty that La La Land had won Best Picture, with the entire cast, crew, and producers present all taking to the stage.
