As expected, the start of the Oscars gala was quite a show, which at the 89th installment of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences Awards was given by Justin Timberlake, who entered the Dolby Theater from Los Angeles singing and dancing "I Can't Stop The Feeling".

After putting the entire theater on its feet, Timberlake gave way to Jimmy Kimmel who took the stage saying that "he was not the man to unite the country", thus answering those who had asked him to use his position to convince the millions of spectators to put aside their differences for a common good.

Kimmel made a comical review of all the nominations, placing special emphasis on Meryl Streep's “undeserved” 20 nomination, thus referring to the words of President Donald Trump, who tweeted during his election campaign that the actress was the most overrated.

“What an incredible year for cinema. Blacks saved NASA and whites saved jazz. He called that progress,”Kimmel joked.

It was time to meet the Oscar winner for Best Supporting Actor with Alicia Vikander. Honor that went to Mahershala Ali for her role in Moonlight, who excitedly dedicated the award to his wife, "who gave birth to our daughter four days ago."

Upon returning from commercials, two more Oscars were awarded: Best Hairdresser and Makeup, which went to Suicide Squad; and best wardrobe, which was won by Fantastic Beast And Where To Find Them.

The three leading actresses in Hidden Figures: Taraji p. Henson, Octavia Spencer and Janelle Monae welcomed one of the elderly NASA workers on stage, whose play recounts the film. Then they awarded the Oscar for Best Documentary: OJ Made in America.

Dwayne Johnson presented the performance of his "twin" Lin-Manuel Miranda, who along with the actress-singer Auli'li Cravalho, interpreted the central theme of the animated film Moana: "We Know The Way".

Kimmel rained down candy, which fell on the audience in small parachutes. "We should give the Oscars like this next year," said the presenter.

Soon after, it was time to meet the honorary Oscars, among which was Jakie Chang. The Chinese actor was recognized for his entire career in audiovisual arts and for his incredible “creativity”.

Thus we come to another of the great moments of the night: the delivery of the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress.

Viola Davis was the winner of this category for her performance in Fences. "There is a place where all the very talented people coincide, one place, and that is the cemetery," Davis said through tears.

"I became an artist, thank God, because it is the only profession that celebrates what it means to live a life," he added.

After dedicating the award to his colleagues, especially Denzel Washington, whom he called "Oh, Captain, my Captain," he spoke of his family, beginning with his parents: "To Dan and Mary Alice, who are the center of my universe. They taught me, right or wrong, how to make mistakes, how to love, how to hold a prize, how to lose … my parents. I am so grateful that God chose you to bring me into this world."

At Emma Stone's excited gaze, on the verge of tears, she ended her speech pointing at her husband and daughter. “Heart, you and Genesis teach me every day how to love. You are the foundation of my life”.

"Viola Davis has been nominated for an Emmy for that speech," Kimmel said after the emotional moment.

Kimmel anticipated the surprise that had been prepared for tourists on a tourist bus, who, other than those who were on top of them, were walking the streets of Los Angeles on the bus, and they were going to be led to the interior of the auditorium to enter the show.

Charlize Theron and Shirley Maclain presented the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film to The Salesman, by Iranian Asghar Farhadi, who did not attend the gala in solidarity with his compatriots, vetoed by Trump's immigration law.

"Dividing the world between us and the enemies creates fear," said the person chosen by Farhadi to pick up his Oscar and read his message of thanks.

Zootopia became the Best Animated Film, and Piper became the Animated Short Film of the Year.

Gael García Bernal, in charge of delivering both together with the actress Hailee Steinfeld, took the opportunity to vindicate the immigrants' struggle, skipping the script and thanking his partner for allowing him to do so.

“Meat and bone actors are migrant workers. We travel the world, we create families, we build stories, we build life that cannot be separated. As a Mexican, as a Latin American, as a migrant worker, as a human being I am against any form of wall that tries to separate us.”

And then came the first statuette of the night for La La Land, in the Best Production Design category.

At the same time, the unsuspecting tourists were led through backstage passageways into the theater.

They are there. Everyone in silence, turn down the lights so we can surprise them,”said Kimmel. The doors opened and as if they were in an attraction, the anonymous visitors were greeting the stars and taking photos with each other.

The funniest moment of the joke came when a couple shared their engagement and that their favorite actor was Denzel Washington, to which Kimmel replied by calling the actor and asking him to marry the couple right there.

Salma Hayek took the stage at the Dolby Theater accompanied by actor David Oyelowo to present the Oscars for Best Documentary Short Film to The White Helmets, and Best Short Film for Sting.

Not knowing anything about Donald Trump, Kimmel wondered what the President of the United States would be doing, so he sent a message to everyone through Twitter. "Hey, Donald Trump, are you awake?"

Another of the fun moments of the night was the explanation offered by the actors Leslie Mann and John Cho about how, thanks to science and technology in the cinema, films about space "are not shot in space". “When I saw the movie I asked myself: 'were we in space? I had to remember that we had not actually shot in space, "Cho shared.

Javier Bardem paid a small tribute to Meryl Streep, with whom he went out to present the award for Best Cinematography, which took the La La Land film the second night.

Kimmel went on to dedicate a section of the evening to the nasty tweets that Internet users send to celebrities through the networks. In this way Ryan Goslin g, Robert De Niro, Emma Stone, among others, read the some of the messages they had received.

Following, John Legend delighted the audience with a delicate piano version of La La Land's central theme "City of Stars", which would soon win the Oscar for Best Original Song. Film director Damien Chazelle's film was also chosen for the award for Best Soundtrack, bringing him four Oscars so far.

Later, Matt Damon suffered the jokes of Kimmel, who, honoring his supposed anger with the actor, did his best to overshadow the presence of the Damon, first not to mention his name when he went out on stage with Ben Affleck and presented him as a "guest" and then uploading the music each time it was his turn to speak.

Finally Damon was able to deliver the Oscar to the writer of Manchester By The Sea, for Best Original Screenplay, a film in which he worked as a producer.

In the Adapted Screenplay category, it was Moonlight who received the award from Amy Adams.

As the night was getting longer, Kimmel asked for "cookies and donuts" to rain down, falling on the hungry stars. He then ordered coffee, but luckily for the attendees nothing happened.

It was time to meet the Best Director, an award that was awarded to Damien Chazelle for La La Land. Chazelle dedicated the award to his partner, of whom he said "I've been lucky enough to fall in love while making this movie."

Brie Larson reviewed the Best Actor nominees, before awarding the Oscar for Casey Affleck for Manchester by The Sea. An award that received something stunned by surprise and thanked her parents and Matt Damon for having trusted her for the task.

To announce the Oscar for Best Actress, Leonardo DiCaprio was chosen, since he was the winner for best actor the previous year. After the minutes of waiting, DiCaprio opened the envelope and revealed the name of Emma Stone, adding the sixth of La La Land.

To deliver the last Oscar of the night, two legendary actors Faye Dunaway and Warren Beatty met, who inadvertently became the protagonists of the night by mistakenly delivering the Oscar to La La Land, although shortly after taking the stage, they He discovered that the envelope they had opened was the wrong one and the real winner was Moonlight.

Although the confusion lasted a while, and even the Academy twitter page gave La la Land the winner, after Dunaway's words.
