Outside of that huge mishap, there were some monumental moments including Moonlight’s historic win for Best Picture. The indie drama became the first movie with an all-black cast to take the top prize, and it’s rising star, Mahershala Ali, became the first Muslim actor to win an Oscar, taking home Best Supporting Actor.

At 32, Damien Chazelle is the youngest filmmaker to win Best Director (for La La Land) and adored actresses Emma Stone and Viola Davis took home their first Oscars for Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress, respectively.

That was what we saw on stage, but, as is the case with many awards ceremonies, there was as much action going on behind the scenes. And for that, we go to social media!

Oscar pals Brie Larson and Emma Stone

One of the most touching moments comes from Brie Larson. Last year’s Best Actress winner shared a snap on her Instagram of a teary-eyed embrace with this year’s winner, Emma Stone.

The Academy’s Instagram account shared a video of the encounter, as well.

Reese Witherspoon and Nick Kroll

Another former Best Actress winner, Reese Witherspoon is always a gold mine of candid BTS shots, like this one of her sharing an In-N-Out burger with Nick Kroll at the Vanity Fair post-Oscar party.

Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel

Unlike the Golden Globes, food isn’t offered at the Oscars (sorry, Jimmy Kimmel’s candy dump doesn’t count). Jessica Biel took care of her grumbling stomach following the ceremony, with help from husband, Justin Timberlake.

The post Behind-the-Scenes at the Oscars: Candid Celebrity Snapshots! appeared first on Positive Celebrity News, Good Celebrity Gossip, Positive Entertainment News | Good Celebrity.

A throwback to classic musicals like Singin’ in the Rain and An American in Paris, the film scored a record, tying 14 nominations including slots in the five major categories: Best Picture, Best Director (Damien Chazelle), Best Original Screenplay (Chazelle), Best Actor (Ryan Gosling), and Best Actress (Emma Stone).

Two songs from the picture (“City of Stars” and “Audition (The Fools Who Dream)”) were also recognized in the Best Original Song category.

The Oscars were accused in recent years for it’s lack of diversity (remember #OscarSoWhite?) but this year a wide array of talented filmmakers, actors, and actresses received nominations.

Notable nods include: Fences, Lion, Hidden Figures, and Moonlight for Best Picture, Denzel Washington (Fences), Ruth Negga (Loving) , Mahershala Ali (Moonlight), Dev Patel (Lion), Viola Davis (Fences), Octavia Spencer (Hidden Figures), and Naomie Harris (Moonlight) in acting categories and Moonlight’s Barry Jenkins for director.

Golden Globe Best Picture winners La La Land and Moonlight are expected to be the top contenders for Best Picture along with Manchester by the Sea. The three movies are among nine pictures competing for the best film of the year.

As always, there are plenty of snubs and surprises. Among those missing out this year are Amy Adams (Arrival) for Best Actress, Martin Scorsese (Silence) and Clint Eastwood (Sully) for Best Director and Tom Hanks (Sully) for Best Actor.
