Moonlight won three awards over the course of the evening, taking home best adapted screenplay and best supporting actor for Ali, along with best picture.
Predictably, Mahershala Ali was named best supporting actor, Viola Davis best supporting, Emma Stone best leading actress and Casey Affleck best lead.
Warren Beaty announced how Damien Chazelle’s film had taken the Best Picture gong when, in reality, it was Moonlight that won.
Many suspected La La Land would scoop the top prize and, as expected, it did.
