Alex Abad-Santos is a senior correspondent who explains what society obsesses over, from Marvel and movies to fitness and skin care. He came to Vox in 2014. Prior to that, he worked at the Atlantic.

For a brief moment, the 2017 Oscars belonged to La La Land, and then, at the last minute, Moonlight ended up winning Best Picture. In short: La La Land was erroneously announced as the Best Picture winner, and after a few abruptly truncated speeches and general confusion, Moonlight, the true recipient, was then announced as the winner.

That shocking moment will be the most memorable thing about the 89th Academy Awards. But La La Land didn’t go home empty-handed. In fact, it was the night’s biggest winner, taking home six awards, including Best Director and Best Actress.

Other notable wins include an Oscar for Suicide Squad, one of the worst movies in recent memory (it took home the prize for Best Makeup and Hairstyling), Mahershala Ali and Viola Davis winning the Supporting Actor and Actress categories, and Kenneth Lonnergan’s Manchester by the Sea for Best Original Screenplay.
