Moonlight’s Historic Best Picture Oscar Win, Plus Some of the Most Important Academy Award Moments
The 2017 Academy Awards proved historic once again. Check out the complete list of Oscar winners plus check out some of the best moments and speeches you might have missed.
In the Season 3 episode of Netflix’s BoJack Horseman, “It’s You,” Mr. Peanutbutter loses the list of Oscar nominees and makes up his own to coverup. We didn’t get exactly that last night at the big show but what did happen was equally unbelievable.
SEE! IT HAPPENS! #Oscars

More on what actually happened later in the post but first a few important moments unrelated to the actual award acceptances I wanted to point out.

Ava DuVernay looked amazing and made a statement last night with her Oscar dress. Many other attendees chose to wear symbols of the ACLU, Planned Parenthood, and GLAAD on their fancy gear.

The 16-year-old star of Disney’s Moana, Auli’i Cravalho, blew everyone away with her performance. And of course the annual “In Memoriam” portion kicked us all in the gut.
