The 89th Academy Awards ceremony, presented by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS), honored the best films of 2016, and took place on February 26, 2017, at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood, Los Angeles, California, at 5:30 p.m. PST. During the ceremony, AMPAS presented Academy Awards (commonly referred to as Oscars) in 24 categories. The ceremony, televised in the United States by ABC, was produced by Michael De Luca and Jennifer Todd and directed by Glenn Weiss.[2][3] Comedian Jimmy Kimmel hosted the ceremony for the first time.[4]

In related events, the Academy held its 8th Annual Governors Awards ceremony at the Grand Ballroom of the Hollywood and Highland Center on November 12, 2016.[5] On February 11, 2017, in a ceremony at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel in Beverly Hills, California,[6] the Academy Scientific and Technical Awards were presented by hosts John Cho and Leslie Mann.[7]

Moonlight won three awards, including Best Picture, and La La Land won the most awards of the ceremony with six after receiving a record-tying 14 nominations. La La Land was incorrectly announced as the Best Picture, before Moonlight was announced as the actual winner.[8][9] Hacksaw Ridge and Manchester by the Sea won two awards each. Winners with one award include Arrival, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, Fences, The Jungle Book, O.J.: Made in America, Piper, The Salesman, Sing, Suicide Squad, The White Helmets, and Zootopia.

Winners and nominees

The nominees for the 89th Academy Awards were announced on January 24, 2017, via global live stream from the Academy.[10] La La Land received the most nominations with a record-tying fourteen (1950's All About Eve and 1997's Titanic also achieved this distinction);[11] Arrival and Moonlight came in second with eight apiece.[12][13] O.J.: Made in America, at 467 minutes, became the longest film to win an Academy Award, surpassing the 431 minute War and Peace which won the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film in 1969.

Ceremony information

Picture of comedian and host Jimmy Kimmel in 2013.
Jimmy Kimmel hosted the 89th Academy Awards.

Due to the mixed reception and low ratings of the previous year's ceremony, producers David Hill and Reginald Hudlin declined to helm the upcoming festivities; they were replaced by Michael De Luca and Jennifer Todd as producers.[26][27] Actor and comedian Chris Rock told Variety regarding if he would return to host, "Someone else will do it."[28] In December 2016 Jimmy Kimmel was announced as the host of the ceremony, he described the producers as having "...an excellent plan and their enthusiasm is infectious" and that he was "...honored to have been chosen to host the 89th and final Oscars."[29][30]

Due to his hosting duties, ABC did not broadcast a special episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live! following the ceremony, as in past years. Instead, ABC aired Live from Hollywood: The After Party, co-hosted by Anthony Anderson, and Lara Spencer of Good Morning America.[31]

Total $483.9 million $172.5 million $656.5 million
Average $53.8 million $19.2 million $72.9 million

At the time of the nominations announcement on January 24, 2017, the combined gross of the nine Best Picture nominees at the North American box offices was $483.8 million, with an average of $53.8 million per film.[citation needed] When the nominations were announced, Arrival was the highest-grossing film among the Best Picture nominees with $95.7 million in domestic box office receipts. La La Land was the second-highest-grossing film with $90.5 million, followed by Hidden Figures ($85 million), Hacksaw Ridge ($65.5 million), Fences ($48.8 million), Manchester by the Sea ($39 million), Hell or High Water ($27 million), Lion ($16.5 million) and Moonlight ($15.8 million).[32]

35 nominations went to 13 films on the list of the top 50 grossing movies of the year. Only Zootopia (3rd), Moana (15th), La La Land (45th) and Arrival (48th) were nominated for Best Picture, Best Animated Feature or any of the directing, acting or screenwriting awards. The other top 50 box office hits that earned nominations were Rogue One: A Star Wars Story (4th), The Jungle Book (5th), Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them (8th), Suicide Squad (10th), Doctor Strange (11th), Star Trek Beyond (24th), Trolls (25th), Passengers (30th), and Sully (32nd).

Racial diversity

The previous two years, the awards had come under scrutiny for the lack of racial diversity among the nominees in major categories, which included no actors of color being nominated.[33] After the nominees for the 89th Awards were announced on January 24, many media outlets noted the diversity of the nominations, which included a record-tying seven minority actors and a record-setting six black actors.[34][35][36] For the first time in the Academy's history, each acting category had black actors, with three nominated in the Best Supporting Actress category and three black screenwriters nominated in the Best Adapted Screenplay category in the same year. Also nominated was one black director, the fourth in Oscar history.[37][38][39]

The awards continued to be criticized by actors and media organizations representing non-black minorities. The National Hispanic Media Coalition stated that Latino actors were "not getting the opportunities to work in front of camera, and with few exceptions, in back of the camera as well." The chair of the Asian Pacific American Media Coalition stated that the omission of Asian actors from the nominations list (with only one actor, Dev Patel, nominated) reflected "the continued lack of real opportunities for Asians in Hollywood."[40] A skit performed during the ceremony, in which a group of tourists enter the theater, led to criticism of host Jimmy Kimmel over his mocking of an Asian woman's name.[41]

Having previously been nominated for Doubt (2008) and The Help (2011), Viola Davis became the first African-American actress to garner three Academy Award nominations.[42][43] She went on to win the award. Bradford Young became the first African-American to be nominated for Best Cinematography, while Joi McMillon became the first African-American to be nominated for Best Film Editing since Hugh A. Robertson for Midnight Cowboy.[44]

Travel ban controversy

Iranian director Asghar Farhadi, who won the Best Foreign Language Film for The Salesman, was revealed to initially be unable to attend the ceremony due to President Donald Trump's immigration ban. He boycotted the event saying, "I have decided to not attend the Academy Awards ceremony alongside my fellow members of the cinematic community."[45] The Academy president Cheryl Boone Isaacs reacted to the travel ban, saying, "America should always be not a barrier but a beacon and each and every one of us knows that there are some empty chairs in this room which has made academy artists into activists."[46] Two prominent Iranian Americans – engineer Anousheh Ansari, known as the first female space tourist, and Firouz Naderi, a former director of Solar Systems Exploration at NASA – represented Asghar Farhadi and his film at the Oscars ceremony.[47]

Best Picture announcement

Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway came onstage to present the award for Best Picture, in celebration of the 50th anniversary of Bonnie and Clyde. After opening the envelope, Beatty hesitated to announce the winner, as the card said "Emma Stone: La La Land" and not just "La La Land", eventually showing it to Dunaway, who glanced at it and declared La La Land the winner. However, as the producers of La La Land made their acceptance remarks, Oscar crew members came on stage and took envelopes from those assembled, explaining to them that there had been a mistake. La La Land producer Fred Berger, having heard the news, concluded his brief remarks by saying "we lost, by the way", and La La Land producer Jordan Horowitz stepped back to the microphone to announce that the real winner was Moonlight. Horowitz presented the correct card to the camera as proof. Beatty stepped to the microphone and explained that the card he had been given named Emma Stone for her performance in La La Land, hence his confused pause. After a brief time of confusion and realization, the producers of Moonlight gave their acceptance speeches.[8][48][49]

According to The Hollywood Reporter, PricewaterhouseCoopers, the accounting firm responsible for tabulating results, preparing the envelopes, and handing them to presenters, creates two sets of envelopes, which are kept on opposite sides of the stage.[50] Screen captures from the broadcast show that Beatty and Dunaway had been given an envelope marked "Actress in a Leading Role" as they walked onto the stage.[51]

PricewaterhouseCoopers issued a statement apologizing for this error:

We sincerely apologize to Moonlight, La La Land, Warren Beatty, Faye Dunaway, and Oscar viewers for the error that was made during the award announcement for Best Picture. The presenters had mistakenly been given the wrong category envelope and when discovered, was immediately corrected. [sic] We are currently investigating how this could have happened, and deeply regret that this occurred. We appreciate the grace with which the nominees, the Academy, ABC, and Jimmy Kimmel handled the situation.[52]

Critical reception and television ratings

Attaining 32.9 million U.S. viewers according to Nielsen ratings, the ceremony's telecast had a 4 percent drop in viewership from last year's ceremony and had the lowest U.S. viewership since the 80th ceremony in 2008, which averaged 32 million viewers.[53]

In Memoriam

The annual "In Memoriam" segment was introduced by Jennifer Aniston, with Sara Bareilles performing a rendition of "Both Sides, Now" during the montage.[54][55] Beforehand, Aniston paid tribute to actor Bill Paxton, who had died the day before the ceremony.[56][57] In order of appearance, the segment paid tribute to:

The slide for Janet Patterson, an Australian costume designer, mistakenly used a photograph of Australian producer Jan Chapman, who is alive.[58]

Notable absences from the "In Memoriam" included actors Garry Shandling, Robert Vaughn, Alexis Arquette, Burt Kwouk, Florence Henderson, and Doris Roberts (all best known for their television work but who have also appeared in films), Miguel Ferrer and producer Dan Ireland.[59][60]
