The Academy Awards recognizes excellence in the motion picture, arts and sciences and connects the world through the plasm of images that inspire us, anger us or simply move us to feel more deeply. With an audience viewership of nearly 33 million people this year, there was plenty of Oscar drama and comedic political jabs aimed at the new presidential administration. But the nights most memorable and defining moment came at the very end when La La Land producers were interrupted mid acceptance speech to reveal that Moonlight had actually won Best Picture, taking the nights top honor.
