In addition to Best Picture, “La La Land” won Gold Derby Awards for Best Director (Damien Chazelle), Best Actress (Emma Stone), Best Cinematography, Best Film Editing, Best Production Design, Best Score, Best Song (“City of Stars”) and Best Sound.
That didn’t leave too many awards for other films, but a few other films picked up multiple prizes. “Moonlight” was the second most awarded film with three wins out of nine nominations: Best Supporting Actor (Mahershala Ali), Best Adapted Screenplay and Best Ensemble Cast.
Oscar predictions by experts in all 24 categories
Two films won a pair of awards. “Manchester by the Sea” entered with eight nominations and claimed Best Actor (Casey Affleck) and Best Original Screenplay. And “Jackie,” also nominated eight times, prevailed in below-the-line categories for Best Costume Design and Best Makeup and Hairstyling.
Rounding out the top categories were Viola Davis as Best Supporting Actress for “Fences” — the only victory out of four nominations for that film — and in the Best Breakthrough Performer category our voters selected musician-turned-actress Janelle Monae, who was part of the Gold Derby Award winning ensemble of “Moonlight” and was also nominated for Best Supporting Actress for “Hidden Figures.” Not bad for her first two live-action feature films.
