The musical drama directed by Damien Chazelle took six total awards during the fest, including today for Best Actress Emma Stone. The pic also nabbed Best Ensemble Cast, Best Photography for Linus Sandgren, Best Score for Justin Hurwitz and Best Song for “City of Stars.”

The Weinstein Company’s Lion took five honors, including the Humanitarian Award.
