Congratulations to This Year's First-Time Oscar Winners!

Ali has gained awards recognition before (he was nominated for an Emmy for his role on House of Cards), but he became the talk of the town thanks to Moonlight. After gaining his first Oscar nomination, he went on to beat out the likes of Jeff Bridges and Michael Shannon to take home the trophy.

Davis was nominated in 2009 and 2012 for Doubt and The Help, respectively, but her role in Fences earned the actress her first win!

While he was nominated for best supporting actor in 2008 for The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford, Affleck is a first-time winner thanks to his leading role in Manchester by the Sea.

Stone lost to Boyhood's Patricia Arquette in 2015, when she was up for supporting actress for Birdman or (The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance). While Birdman went on to win best picture, 2017 marks the La La Land star's first individual win!

La La Land's Chazelle became the youngest winner of the best director Oscar in 2017. While he didn't win, he was also up for best adapted screenplay in 2015 for his first major film, Whiplash.

Writer/director Lonergan knocked it out of the park with Manchester by the Sea. While he lost out on best director, he walked away with his first win: best original screenplay.
