Hollywood’s golden night. The most glorious, star-studded evening in film throughout the year. Thousands of hours of hard work, inspiration, perspiration and striving to make the very best movies that you possibly can, and what’s everyone talking about?
The wrong film being announced as winner of Best Picture.
To be fair, it was utterly excruciating.
But let that not obscure the fact that a host of superb films, and a lot of talented people received the recognition that they deserved. So let’s cut to the chase – here are all the winners from the 2017 Academy Awards. La La Land won big, with 6 Oscars out of a record-equalling 14 nominations – but it didn’t win the big one.
