The 89th Annual Academy Awards were held today at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood.
Iran's The Salesman won the award for the best foreign-language film after the nomination stirred controversy after President Trump's executive order ordered a travel ban for seven countries in the Middle East, including the Islamic Republic.
In protest of the controversial travel ban, Anousheh Ansari, the first Iranian woman in space, took the stage and received the award for Oscar-winning director Asghar Farhadi, who protested the award show.
The nominees in the category also included A Man Called Ove (Sweden), Land Of Mine (Denmark), Tanna (Australia) and Toni Erdmann (Germany).
La La Land earned 14 nominations, equaling the record held by Titanic and All About Eve as having the most Oscar nominations of all time. It bagged the Oscar in 6 of these categories.
