How many Oscars did 'La La Land' win and lose tonight? Here's the full tally.
Newsflash: La La Land did not win best picture. Though Warren Beatty opened the envelope and read the film's name, it apparently was a mistake. La La Land ended up not being a winner-take-all picture after all, predictions be darned. Despite forecasts that the movie would sweep several Oscars, it certainly saw its share of losses for the night.
The final math? La La Land won six categories and lost seven. It doesn't quite add up because the film received two nominations for best original song. One song won, which meant the other lost.
