The 89th Academy Awards Night has seen a myriad of emotions and expectations. It has been a night of unstoppable memories. This year, Jimmy Kimmel – the late night goofballs & sarcasm machine hosted the ceremony and spent most of the time taking a dig at almost every Hollywood favourite. Some incidences from yesternight were surely the funniest and most awkward moments anyone could ever expect in the history of Oscars.
But let’s forget the time when La La Land was accidentally named as the Best Picture and take a look back at the moments that were real, awe-inspiring, befitting and instrumental for the movies all across the globe.
