Walau berhasil keluar sebagai film dengan raihan kemenangan terbanyak, film musikal arahan Damien Chazelle, La La Land, harus mengalah terhadap Moonlight yang akhirnya dinobatkan sebagai Best Picture di ajang The 89th Annual Academy Awards. Dalam seremoni yang diwarnai banyak pernyataan politis tentang kepemimpinan Presiden Amerika Serikat, Donald Trump, serta kesalahan pembacaan pemenang Best Picture oleh aktor sekaligus sutradara, Warren Beatty, film arahan Barry Jenkins tersebut juga berhasil memenangkan dua penghargaan lain, Best Actor in a Supporting Role untuk Mahershala Ali dan Best Adapted Screenplay yang dimenangkan Jenkins bersama penulis naskah, Tarell Alvin McCraney.
Meskipun begitu, para penggemar La La Land semestinya tidak berkecil hati. Selain berhasil memenangkan Best Director untuk Chazelle, film yang berhasil meraih nominasi di 14 kategori tersebut juga berhasil memenangkan lima kategori lainnya, termasuk Best Actress in a Leading Role untuk Emma Stone. Beberapa kejutan terjadi dalam malam penghargaan yang dibawakan oleh Jimmy Kimmell tersebut. Beberapa kategori teknis yang awalnya diprediksi dapat dimenangkan oleh La La Land ternyata berhasil direbut oleh film-film seperti Hacksaw Ridge (Mel Gibson, 2016) dan Arrival (Dennis Villeuve, 2016).
