And the day is finally here. Jimmy Kimmel’s cheeky One liners, his cat fight with Matt Damon, his tweets to president Trump from the stage, falling candies & donuts from the sky and then the golden envelop finally opens....

La La Land grabbed 6 out of their 14 nominations. A lot of 1st time winners on the list this year, few slaps to the president, inspiring personalities, journeys, speeches and the 'best possible worst cinematic' end. That’s all from the 89th academy awards. 16 out of my 17 predictions came true this year, share yours.
