TURNPIKE.
THERE WAS A TIME WHEN I THOUGHT
THIS MOVIE WAS IMPOSSIBLE
BECAUSE I COULDN'T -- I COULDN'T
BRING IT TO FRUITION, I COULDN'T
BRING MYSELF TO TELL ANOTHER
STORY.
SO EVERYBODY BEHIND ME ON THE
STAGE SAID, NO, THAT IS NOT
ACCEPTABLE.
SO I JUST WANT TO THANK
EVERYBODY UP HERE BEHIND ME --

"MOONLIGHT" PRODUCER BARRY
JENKINS BASICALLY WAS BEING
GRACIOUS, APOLOGIZING TO HIS
FRIENDS AT "LA LA LAND" AND
SAYING HE APPRECIATED HOW
GRACIOUS THEY WERE.
BUT YOU KNOW, SAYING THAT THE
HONOR WAS BITTERSWEET BECAUSE OF
WHAT HAPPENED.
IT WAS UNCOMFORTABLE FOR
EVERYONE, INCLUDING THE ACTORS
WHO WERE ON -- EMMA STONE WAS ON
STAGE AND MAHERSHALA ALI WHO
WANTED TO GO UP ON STAGE.
>> I DIDN'T WANT TO GO UP THERE
AND TAKE ANYTHING FROM SOMEBODY.
AND IT'S VERY HARD TO FEEL JOY
IN A MOMENT LIKE THAT.
YOU KNOW.
BUT BECAUSE SOMEBODY ELSE JUST
IN FRONT OF THEM.
BUT I FEEL VERY FORTUNATE
TO -- FOR ALL OF US TO HAVE
WALKED AWAY WITH THE BEST
PICTURE AWARD, IT'S PRETTY
REMARKABLE.
>> I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT TO
SAY.
I THINK I WAS ON STILL SUCH A
BUZZY TRAIN BACK STAGE, THAT I
WAS ON ANOTHER PLANET ALREADY.
THIS ALL JUST FELT LIKE ANOTHER
PLANET.
BUT AGAIN, GOD, I LOVE MY LIFE.
I'M SO EXCITED.
>> SO EXCITED THAT WE JUST WON
BEST PICTURE.
AND JUST TO FEEL LIKE NOT EVEN
FEEL, JUST TO HEAR IT, BEST
PICTURE.

OFF.
HEY WE WIN, THANK YOU SO MUCH.

THEY WERE ENJOYING THE NIGHT
LAST NIGHT OUT AND ABOUT.
SEVERAL PICTURES WITH THEM WITH
THE OSCAR IN THEIR HAND.
I'LL BE TWEETING THEM OUT AND
MAKE SURE TO GET THAT TO YOU.
BUT WHAT A NIGHT.
MAHERSHALA ALI WAS THE BEST
SUPPORTING ACTOR HE'S THE FIRST
MUSLIM ACTOR EVER TO WIN AN
OSCAR.
ALSO LAST NIGHT, THE SOUND HACK
SAW RIDGE, 21 TIMES, TURNS OUT
21 IS A CHARM.
WINNING THE SOUND MIXING FOR
HACK SAU
W RIDGE , THAT WAS
EXCITING.
THE NIGHT WAS GREAT.
I DON'T KNOW IF YOU SAW THE BUS
LOAD OF TOURISTS, THAT WAS A BIG
HIGHLIGHT OF THE NIGHT.
PEOPLE WERE HAVING A GOOD TIME.
AND NOW THIS, YOU KNOW, THIS GAF
GAUF AT THE END OF THE NIGHT
REALLY THROWING PEOPLE
"LA LA LAND" DIDN'T DO TOO BAD.
SIX OSCARS, RECORD 14
NOMINATIONS AT THE END OF THE
DAY, EVERYONE MADE OUT OKAY.
BUT THAT ONE STILL HAS MANY
PEOPLE SCRATCHING THIS ARE HEADS
THIS MORNING.
AS FOR ME, I DIDN'T PULL MY HAIR
OUT YET.
I HAVEN'T SLEPT MUCH.
JACEY BEFORE, YOU WERE ASKING ME
WHAT I WAS WEARING.
GIRL YOU KNOW HOW I ROLL, RENT
THE RUNWAY.
SO YOU KNOW, IT WAS NICE FOR THE
NIGHT.
IT WAS A CHIIAR RA-BOHN GOWN.
I WORE FAUX FUR JACKET EARLY
ON BECAUSE IT WAS COLD
YESTERDAY WE HAD RAIN AND COLD.
BUT IT CLEARED UP IN TIME.
IT WAS GREAT NIGHT, UP UNTIL
THAT MOMENT.

ABOUT FOR A LONG TIME.
