She continued thanking her family and colleagues, including director Damian Chazelle for the "opportunity to be a part of a project that was so special and once in a lifetime."

Besides Best Actress, "La La Land" took home five gongs from several categories including Best Director for Chazelle and Best Original Song for its soundtrack "City of Stars". before the annual prestigious event was concluded, the musical movie was mistakenly declared as the Best Picture winner instead of "Moonlight". It was presenter Faye Dunaway who wrongly read the cue card. After "La La Land" director Chazelle took the stage to begin his speech, the presenter admitted that she made an error and handed the top honor at the 89th annual Academy Awards to "Moonlight" director Barry Jenkins. Trying to reduce the awkwardness that night, Jimmy Kimmel jokingly told the crowd, "I blame myself." Jenkins then began his acceptance speech by giving a nod to "La La Land" cast and crew, before saying, "Very clearly, even in my dreams this could not be true." He added, "But to hell with dreams! I'm done with it. This is true."
