This year’s Oscars will always be remembered as the one during which the Best Picture award nearly went to the wrong film. In fact, Moonlight may be the most important win in Oscar history, because of its subject and timing. Its songs and dances are good, and Stone, who won the Best Actress trophy, is a radiant stealer-of-hearts. But this year, it had to be the heart-breaking Moonlight. A handful of Black actors brandishing the Oscar statue (Mahershala Ali won Best Supporting Actor, Viola Davis Best Supporting Actor, and Barry Jenkins received the Best Film trophy, as a retraction) may not change the world.
