Best Actress

The award goes to Michelle Yeoh for Everything Everywhere All at Once.

Best Actor

Brendan Fraser, the comeback kid, wins best actor

Music (Original Song)

The award goes to Naatu Naatu from RRR.

Chandrabose and MMM Keeravaani won best song for Naatu Naatu, and riffed on The Carpenters' hit song Top of the World - they sang a version with lyrics about their film RRR and India.

It's the first Indian feature film to be nominated for anything other than best international film at the Academy Awards.

RRR stands for Rise, Roar, Revolt – it missed out on any film nominations, but is a historical fantasy that tells the story of two revolutionaries who fight against British rule in India.

Best Original Screenplay

The award goes to Everything Everywhere All at Once.

Nalvany's win highlights his opposition to Putin

Navalny wins the Best Documentary Feature Film.

This documentary is about Kremlin critic Alexei Navalny, who survived poisoning with a nerve agent and is now behind bars.

He remains in solitary confinement, but he continues to oppose Russia's President Vladimir Putin.

His wife, who was there on his behalf, told him to "stay strong, my love".

Jamie Lee Curtis and Ke Huy Quan win award for role in Everything Everywhere All at Once

Curtis plays hard-nosed inspector Deirdre Beaubeirdra in the absurdist comedy drama set across various multiverses.

Quan gave a triumphant and emotional speech for his win for best supporting actor.

He started with “Mom, I just won an Oscar!".

Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio wins best animated feature

As expected, Guillermo del Toro - who is no stranger to the Oscars having previously won two Academy Awards for The Shape of Water - has picked up the first prize for his version of classic tale Pinocchio.
