In a completely shocking turn of events, La La Land has won the Academy Award for Best Original Score at the Oscars tonight, beating out Moonlight, Lion, Passengers, and Mica Levi's score for Jackie. Composer Justin Hurwitz once again took the stage to accept the award. He's getting a lot of cardio out of this film!

Earlier in the broadcast, John Legend performed music from the film. You can watch that below.
