Hi
Everyone,
The
89th Academy Awards have been given out – on Sunday 26th
February 2017 - and the red carpet has been rolled away for another
year. Inevitably there are winners and losers. La La Land did
very well, but didn't sweep the board as some people had expected. The
other big winner on the night was Moonlight which (unless
there's been another huge mix-up) won Best Picture. Here's a run down
of the numbers of Oscars the winning films got – with La
La Land (with its six wins) – at the top of the table:-
La
La Land = 6
Moonlight
= 3
Hacksaw
Ridge = 2
Manchester
By the Sea = 2
Arrival
= 1
Fantastic
Beasts and Where to Find Them = 1
Fences
= 1
O.
J.: Made in America = 1
Suicide
Squad = 1
The
Jungle Book = 1
The
Salesman = 1
Zootopia
(aka Zootropolis) = 1
(Shorts:
Piper, Sing, and The White Helmets also received one Oscar each).
