2017 Oscar Winners at the 89th Academy Awards

2017 Oscar winners were announced at the 89th Academy Awards ceremony broadcast live on ABC from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences in Hollywood on February 26, 2017 at 8:30pm.

The only Latin winner was Sylvain Bellemare who took home an Oscar for the “Sound Editing” of French-Canadian sci-fi thriller Arrival.

Iranian director Asghar Farhadi won “Best Foreign Language Film” for The Salesman. He chose not to travel to the awards in protest of the president’s ill-conceived immigrant travel ban. Anousheh Ansari read his acceptance speech.

It’s a great honor to be receiving this valuable award for the second time. I would like to thank the members of the Academy, my crew in Iran, my producer Alexandre Mallet-Guy, Cohen Media, Amazon and my fellow nominees in the foreign film category.

I’m sorry I’m not with you tonight. My absence is out of respect for the people of my country and those of other six nations whom have been disrespected by the inhumane law that bans entry of immigrants to the U.S.

Dividing the world into the us and our enemy categories creates fear, a deceitful justification for aggression and war. These wars prevent democracy and human rights in countries which have themselves been victims of aggression.

Filmmakers can turn their cameras to capture shared human qualities and break stereotypes of various nationalities and religions. They create empathy between us and others. An empathy which we need today more than ever.

Thank you.

~ Asghar Farhadi

Thank you Mr. Farhadi for speaking for all of us.

Latin Oscar Nominations

Nominations were announced January 24, 2017.

American film La La Land tied Titanic (1997) and All About Eve (1950) for the most nominations ever with 14 in total. The largest number of Black candidates ever, put to rest previous year’s complaints about all-white Oscars.

French-Canadian science-fiction thriller Arrival earned eight nominations for Best Picture, Best Director (Denis Villeneuve), Best Adapted Screenplay (Eric Heisserer), Best Cinematography, Best Sound Editing, Best Sound Mixing, Best Production Design, and Best Film Editing.

In the Best Actress category, French actress Isabelle Huppert was nominated for her work in Elle. Natalie Portman was nominated for her work in Jackie by Chilean director Pablo Larraín. Jackie was also nominated for Best Costume Design.

No Latin films made the Best Foreign Language Film shortlist or nominations.

Puerto Rican New Yorker Lin-Manuel Miranda was nominated in the Best Original Song category for his How Far I’ll Go in Moana. An Academy Award would put Miranda in the rarified company of EGOT winners (Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, Tony).
