Live coverage began at 7 p.m. on ABC, with Brie Laarson, Rachel McAdams, Alicia Vikander and other actresses dazzling in gorgeous gowns. Longtime friends Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet arrived together to the awards show.

Spotlight wins Oscar for Best Picture
This gripping dramatisation of The Boston Globe’s investigation into child abuse in the Catholic Church stars Michael Keaton and Mark Ruffalo. The film’s down-the-line style is clearly inspired by another journalistic classic, 1976 Oscar-winner All The President’s Men.
This film gave a voice to survivors and this Oscar amplifies that voice which we hope will become a choir that will resonate all the way to the Vatican,” the producers said while accepting the trophy. “Pope Francis, it’s time to protect the children and restore the faith.”

The Oscar for Best Actor goes to... Leonardo DiCaprio, for The Revenant
Five-time Oscar nominee DiCaprio clearly had his eyes on an award when he chose this role. Playing a 19th-century huntsman, he endured punishing sub-zero temperatures and ate raw buffalo liver while shooting the film. He's already been rewarded for his efforts, having scooped up Best Actor trophies at this year's Baftas and Golden Globes.
“Thank you all so very much! Thank you to the Academy and all of you in this room," he said in his acceptance speech.
"The Revenant was the product of the tireless efforts of an unbelievable cast and crew. I have to thank everyone from the very onset of my career."
"Making The Revenant was about man's connection to the natural world, we felt in 2015 it was the hottest year on the planet. Climate change is real, it's happening right now, it's the most urgent threat affecting our entire species, we need to work right now and stop procrastinating."

Brie Larson wins Best Actress
It's the expected result - and there's no denying that Larson was absolutely fanatstic in Room.
Still...we can't be the only ones secretly wishing that Carol star Cate Blanchett had sneaked in instead.
Rising indie queen Brie Larson plays a woman kidnapped and forced to raise her child in a single room, in this adaptation of the best-selling novel by Emma Donoghue. Larson took home Best Actress awards from the Golden Globes and Baftas earlier this year.
This is the first Oscar for the 26-year-old former child actor, who's appeared in comedies such as 21 Jump Street and “Trainwreck. “I want to start big,” Larson said after accepting her award. “The thing I love about movie making is how many people it takes to make it.” She thanked the Toronto Film Festival, A24, director Lenny Abrahamson, co-star Jacob Tremblay, her boyfriend, Alex Greenwald, and her parents, among others.
The award was presented by last year's Best Actor winner, Eddie Redmayne.

Alejandro González Iñárritu wins Best Director
The man behind The Revenant, who triumphed last year with Birdman, has become the first recipient of back-to-back directing Oscars since Joseph L Mankiewicz, who won for A Letter to Three Wives and All About Eve in 1949/50.
Should the Revenant win Best Picture later tonight, Iñárritu would also become the first director of back-to-back Best Picture winners in the Academy’s 88-year history. That’s a hell of an achievement.
During his speech, he thanked his lead actor Leonard DiCaprio for giving his "heart and soul" to the film.
"I can’t believe this is happening! But it’s much more beautiful for me to share with all the talented cast and colleagues and crew members along the continent that made this film possible," he said. "I thank you from my heart. Leo, you were The Revenant: thank you for giving your soul, your heart. To Hardy, all the Native American cast: thank you for your trust, your talent. I want to thank Chivo for bringing your light to this journey."
Hope was alive for a little while that George Miller might pull off a coup in Best Director, bringing his film's tally to a storming seven. But it wasn't to be. Ińárritu, the heavy favourite, stepped up for his second consecutive win, making him the first director to achieve this in 65 years. The backlash is already beginning.

Sam Smith and James Nape win Best Original Song for Writing's on the Wall
“I can’t actually breathe righ now. Oh my God!" said the singer, as he accepted the award for the song, composed by Nape, from the soundtrack to the James Bond movie Spectre.
"I want to dedicate this to the LGBT community all around the world. I stand here as a proud gay man.”
"I stand here as a proud gay man and hope we can all stand here as equals one day."

Lady Gaga makes everyone (well, some people) cry
Gaga sung Til It Happems To You, her nominated Best Song from The Hunting Ground. It’s big, melodramatic – and the crowd of luminaries absolutely loved it. Kate Winslet looks like she’s about to cry. So does Rachel McAdams.
The singer was introduced by US Vice President Joe Biden, who gave an impassioned speech on behalf of survivors of sexual abuse.
"Too many women and men on and off college campuses are still victims of sexual abuse,” he said.
"Please take a pledge," he asked everyone, that “I will intervene in situations when consent has not or cannot be given.”
“Let’s change the culture,” he added added. “We must and we can change the culture so that no abused woman or man, like the survivors you will see tonight, ever feel they have to ask themselves ‘What did I do?’ They did nothing wrong.”

We'll fight for diversity in future, says Cheryl Boone Isaacs
Academy President Cheryl Boone Isaacs says they will take steps to diversify its membership. “Each of you is an ambassador who can influence others in the industry. It’s not enough to listen and agree,” she said. “We must take action.”

Son of Saul wins Best Foreign Film
Son of Saul is one hell of a debut, with the emphasis on hell: it’s set entirely, and with pitiless, unyielding intensity, inside Auschwitz-Birkenau. The film starts as it means to continue – trained tight on a Hungarian-Jewish prisoner, Saul (Géza Röhrig), who has only been given a stay of execution because he’s a part of a Sonderkommando work unit. His Faustian task is to help with the extermination of fellow Jews and the clean-up operation afterwards, bringing him face to face with horrors we can only imagine, even if they are ones we can frequently half-see, and very graphically hear.
“Even in the darkest hours of mankind, there might be a voice within us that allows us to remain human,” director László Nemes said while accepting the award. “That’s the hope of this film.”

Sly Stallone may have missed out on an Oscar - but at least he still has his pals
By his pals, we mean Arnie:
And Telegraph Film Critic Tim Robey:
Bit of an upset in Best Supporting Actor, ruefully received by the favourite, Sylvester Stallone. Did the diversity backlash – and Michael B Jordan's lack of a nomination for CREED – weirdly work against him? Or was Mark Rylance's wizardly craft and career reputation just too hard to ignore?
03:43
Oscar for Best Documentary Feature goes to Amy
The film explores the troubled life of singer Amy Winehouse.
Director Asif Kapadia said: "This film's all about Amy, showing the world who she really was - not the tabloid persona."

A Girl in the River: The Price of Forgiveness wins Best Documentary Short
Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy's powerful film is about honour killings in her native Pakistan.
This is the second Oscar and nomination for Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy, whose film tells the story of an 18-year-old Pakistani woman who survived an attempted honour killing. “This is what happens when determined women get together,” Obaid-Chinoy said of the documentary.
In the wake of the film's nomination, the Pakistani government has vowed to eradicate the practice.
Obaid-Chinoy's previous Oscar-winning documentary was 2012's Saving Face, which explored the horrors endured by women who survive acid attacks.
03:29
The Oscar for Best Supporting Actor goes to Mark Rylance for Bridge of Spies
Patricia Arquette, last year's Best Supporting Actress, presented the Academy Award for Best Actor to Mark Rylance, for Bridge of Spies - the first win tonight for Steven Spielberg's period drama.
The renowned thesp was a mesmerising presence as the soft-spoken, inscrutable Russian spy defended by Tom Hanks in Steven Spielberg’s Cold War drama.
Rylance is only the second actor to ever win an Oscar for a Spielberg film (the first was Daniel Day Lewis, for Lincoln).
"For me to have the chance to work with one of the greatest storytellers of our time Steven Spielberg has been just such an honour..." he said. "I’m so pleased that our film has been nominated so many times... I think if you ever wonder about acting with Tom Hanks, 'would it help?' The answer is yes... I don’t know how they separate my acting from your acting [the other nominees]… it’s a wonderful time to be an actor."
