Sing Kristof Deák and Anna UdvardyMoonlight is the first LGBT-themed film
and the first without a single white cast
member to win Best Picture, and that has
come at a crucial time for Hollywood. Last
year, the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts
and Sciences added 683 new members to its
ranks—many of them women and people
of color—in the first phase of a push to
increase diversity. Those new inductees
represent just about 10 percent of the
Academy’s total membership, but they may
be having an impact. “If I took myself out of
my body and looked at what happened, I
would be inspired,” saidMoonlightwriter-
director Barry Jenkins on Monday morning,
still bleary-eyed from Sunday night’s emo-
tional roller coaster. “For a long time, certainnarratives, certain people just weren’t con-
sidered. For the Academy to make this
considerable gesture—to see through these
perceived barriers—and just see the film,
that’s something.”
Early in the evening there were clues that
La La Land, one of only three films to ever
land 14 Oscar nominations, wasn’t going to
be the night’s de facto juggernaut after all. It
lost Costume Design toFantastic Beasts and
Where to Find Them, followed by two more:

for Kevin O’Connell, a 21-time(!) nominee
who finally scored his first statue. “This is
the happiest day of my entire life,” beamed
O’Connell. “I still think I’m dreaming.”What badge did
