"Moonlight," which was written and directed by FSU Film School alum Barry Jenkins and has five other Film School grads on its production team, has picked up its first Oscar.

In the first award of the night, Mahershala Ali won for Best Supporting Actor.

Ali, who has not previously been nominated, thanked Jenkins as well as producer Adele Romanski, who, he said, “forced Barry to cast me,” in his speech.

"Moonlight" was nominated for eight Academy Awards: Best Supporting Actor, Best Supporting Actress, Best Cinematography, Best Original Score, Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Film Editing, Best Director and Best Picture.
