Brendan Fraser and his family are photobombed by Best Supporting Actor winner Ke Huy Quan, with his and Fraser’s appearance together marking an unexpected reunion – both actors starred in the largely forgotten 1992 comedy Encino Man, a star vehicle for comedian Pauly Shore.

05:27 , Adam White

An unusual coincidence highlighted in this very funny Denise Richards tweet is that the only two women of colour to ever win the Best Actress Oscar also happened to play Bond Girls to Pierce Brosnan

05:18 , Adam White

And here’s Malala Yousafzai finally breaking her silence on the Don’t Worry Darling controversies of last year.

05:08 , Adam White

From Jamie Lee Curtis’s shock win to the dominance of Everything Everywhere All at Once, we’ve run down the six biggest talking points from tonight’s show

Snubs, shocks and sweeps: The six biggest talking points from the Oscars

04:58 , Adam White

In case you missed it, Hugh Grant’s scrotum joke was probably the comic highlight of the evening (what a marvellous sentence, good morning).

04:45 , Adam White

Nigerian singer Tems, a nominee for co-writing Rihanna’s “Lift Me Up”, sparked minor controversy (and jokes) tonight as people noticed her otherwise sensational outfit...

...made it slightly tricky for the unlucky soul seated behind her during the show.

04:32 , Adam White

And in a little bit of late-night heartbreak, Vulture is reporting that the Banshees of Inisherin donkey brought on stage by Jimmy Kimmel during the ceremony was not Jenny the Donkey from the film but an impostor! “It was just a random donkey,” an unverified source told the publication. For shame!

04:22 , Adam White

Here is Michelle Yeoh’s mother Janet, who was referenced in her acceptance speech, celebrating her daughter’s win during a live screening of the Oscars in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, last night. Look at her face!

04:20 , Adam White

A nice moment from one of the Daniels’ many speeches tonight involved Everything Everywhere co-director Daniel Scheinert calling out the protests and hysteria around drag.

04:17 , Adam White

One of the funniest gags from tonight’s ceremony was Jimmy Kimmel reigniting his comic feud with Matt Damon, after asking Jessica Chastain whether it was tricky working with him on The Martian as he “smells like dog medicine”.

Jimmy Kimmel reignites long-running feud with Matt Damon at the Oscars

04:13 , Adam White

Many are asking about a number of major stars left out of the ceremony’s In Memoriam segment, including Paul Sorvino, Anne Heche, Philip Baker Hall, David Warner and Charlbi Dean, who was the female lead of Best Picture nominee Triangle of Sadness.

04:03 , Adam White

And another extraordinary statistic courtesy of writer and awards specialist Erik Anderson: tonight’s Oscars marks the first time one studio has won all four acting categories, and that studio is relative new kid on the block A24.

04:00 , Adam White

And a quite extraordinary statistic from New York Times critic Kyle Buchanan: Everything Everywhere All at Once is now the film with the most above-the-line wins (meaning the biggest categories) in Oscar history. That’s more than The Silence of the Lambs, It Happened One Night and One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, all of which won five above-the-line awards.

03:56 , Adam White

While it’s understandably been overshadowed by the wins for Everything Everywhere, All Quiet on the Western Front took home four trophies tonight. That also makes it Netflix’s most successful film at the Oscars.

03:50 , Adam White

So as the dust settles on the evening, Tom Murray has gathered together Jimmy Kimmel’s seven best zingers from the night, including his cracks at Babylon’s box office gross and the Will Smith slap row from last year.

03:46 , Adam White

This was quite an extraordinary evening in terms of total shut-outs, with Tár, Elvis, The Banshees of Inisherin and The Fabelmans, all of which were widely embraced and received multiple nominations, entirely missing out on wins.

03:35 , Adam White

And here is the final tally for this evening...

Everything Everywhere All at Once 7

All Quiet on the Western Front 4

The Whale 2

Avatar: The Way of Water 1

Black Panther: Wakanda Forever 1

The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse 1

The Elephant Whisperers 1

Guillermo Del Toro’s Pinocchio 1

An Irish Goodbye 1

Navalny 1

Top Gun: Maverick 1

Women Talking 1

03:33 , Adam White

So this means seven wins for Everything Everywhere All at Once, which is an incredible sweep this evening.

03:32 , Adam White

And Best Picture goes to... Everything Everywhere All at Once!

03:32 , Adam White

And now Harrison Ford presenting Best Picture

03:30 , Adam White

“This is history in the making,” Yeoh says at the end of her brilliant speech.

03:29 , Adam White

This is historic. Michelle Yeoh is the first Asian woman to win the Best Actress Oscar, and the second woman of colour to ever win the award, following Halle Berry in 2003.

03:28 , Adam White

“For all the little boys and girls who look like me watching tonight, this is proof dreams do come true. And ladies, don’t let anybody tell you you are ever past your prime”

03:27 , Adam White

And Best Actress goes to... Michelle Yeoh!

03:27 , Adam White

This is the biggie!

03:26 , Adam White

Lovely speech from Brendan Fraser, and now Best Actress

03:24 , Adam White

“I started in this business 30 years ago, and things didn’t come easily to me. There was a facility that I didn’t appreciate at the time until it stopped, and thank you for this acknowledgment.”

03:22 , Adam White

And Best Actor goes to... Brendan Fraser for The Whale !!

03:20 , Adam White

If Michelle Yeoh wins tonight, it’ll be Halle Berry handing her the Oscar. Berry, famously, is the only woman of colour to win the Best Actress Oscar... potentially until tonight.

03:19 , Adam White

This is an exciting next two categories. First up is Best Actor, which could go to Brendan Fraser or Austin Butler. Then Best Actress, which has been neck-and-neck between Michelle Yeoh and Cate Blanchett all awards season, but seems to be going Yeoh’s way tonight.

03:12 , Adam White

This is quite a spectacular sweep for Everything Everywhere All at Once, with almost every other contender struggling to win a single award tonight. Of the three categories left to announce, only Best Actor is Everything Everywhere-less. Surely Michelle Yeoh is taking Best Actress now?

03:11 , Adam White

And Best Director goes to... the Daniels for Everything Everywhere All at Once!

03:10 , Adam White

Idris Elba and Nicole Kidman next, announcing the award for Best Director. The Daniels have this in the bag, surely?

03:07 , Adam White

And the winner of Best Film Editing is... Everything Everywhere All at Once!

03:06 , Adam White

We are very close to the end now, with Best Editing up next, then Director, Actor, Actress and Best Picture.

03:04 , Adam White

On a lighter note, you may have missed Colin Farrell calling out Saturday Night Live earlier tonight, after their controversial Irish stereotype skit this weekend

03:03 , Adam White

Among those included are actors Olivia Newton-John, Louise Fletcher, Irene Papas, Robbie Coltrane, Kirstie Alley, Ray Liotta, Irene Cara, Nichelle Nichols, Douglas McGrath, Angela Lansbury, Mary Alice, Gina Lollobrigida, James Caan and Raquel Welch, directors Bob Raefelson , Wolfgang Petersen and Jean Luc Godard, and composers Angelo Badalamenti, Vangelis and Burt Bacharach

What a line-up.

02:59 , Adam White

A clearly emotional Travolta chokes up as he introduces the segment, which sees Lenny Kravitz perform

02:58 , Adam White

And now John Travolta, who seems to be about to present the In Memoriam segment.

02:56 , Adam White

And the winner is neither of them! Rather the smash “Naatu Naatu” from RRR!

02:55 , Adam White

And now Best Song! Could it be Rihanna or Lady Gaga?

02:53 , Adam White

And now the award for Best Sound, which goes to... Top Gun: Maverick!

02:51 , Adam White

For anyone who missed that lovely cameo from Jenny the Donkey...

02:44 , Adam White

“I’d like to thank the Academy for not being mortally offended by the words ‘women’ and ‘talking’ so close to another like that,” Polley jokes.

02:43 , Adam White

And the Oscar for Best Adapted Screenplay goes to... Women Talking! A nice, deserved win for actor turned filmmaker Sarah Polley there.

02:42 , Adam White

This feels like a clear path of victory for Everything Everywhere. It feels as if it’s practically a sure-thing that it’ll take both Best Picture and Best Director now.

02:39 , Adam White

And the Oscar for Best Original Screenplay goes to... Everything Everywhere All at Once!

This movie is sweeping.

02:38 , Adam White

And now internet darlings Florence Pugh and Andrew Garfield – together at last! – are here to announce Best Original and Adapted Screenplays

02:36 , Adam White

Earlier this evening, Best Supporting Actor winner Ke Huy Quan shouted out his Goonies co-star Jeff Cohen, and now his other Goonies co-star Corey Feldman has praised his win.

02:34 , Adam White

Brendan Gleeson is in tears over that Rihanna performance, which is an unexpected twist.

02:31 , Adam White

Rihanna is draped in diamonds and sounds spectacular singing her Oscar-nominated track “Lift Me Up” from Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.

02:29 , Adam White

AND IT IS NOW RIHANNA

02:27 , Adam White

From the audience, Jimmy Kimmel asks literal Malala Yousafzai: “Do you think Harry Styles spit on Chris Pine?”

02:24 , Adam White

And the winner of Achievement in Special Effects goes to... Avatar: The Way of Water!

02:22 , Adam White

Elizabeth Banks is now presenting with the Cocaine Bear of Cocaine Bear, who really deserves a long career after that movie

02:20 , Adam White

Not content with just saving the actual ceremony with her rendition of “Hold My Hand”, Lady Gaga also saved a man’s life (not really) on the red carpet earlier.

02:12 , Adam White

And the winner for Best Original Score is... All Quiet on the Western Front, which is sweeping the technical categories tonight

02:08 , Adam White

And the winner for Best Production Design goes to... All Quiet on the Western Front!

02:07 , Adam White

It’s a Four Weddings and a Funeral reunion as Hugh Grant and Andie MacDowell arrive to promote “the importance of using good moisturiser”.

“Andie’s been wearing moisturiser every day for 29 years – I have not,” Grant jokes. “[She’s] still stunning. [I’m] basically a scrotum.”

02:05 , Adam White

We’re also two hours into this Oscars, and it’s... a little dry, right? Kimmel has been middling, the on-stage banter hasn’t exactly sparkled. Is everyone on their good behaviour a bit too much?

02:02 , Adam White

While the show has cut to commercials, here’s how the awards tally is looking so far...

Best Animated Short The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse

Best Documentary Short The Elephant Whisperers

And we pull back from Gaga’s performance to see a giant projection reading “In memory of Tony Scott” – director of the original Top Gun, who died in 2012

01:58 , Adam White

Lady Gaga is giving earnest singer-songwriter realness with this stripped-down version of “Hold My Hand” from Top Gun: Maverick.

“This song is deeply personal to me,” she said in a pre-performance speech. “We all need each other. We need a lot of love to get through this life ... You can be your own hero, even if you feel broken inside.”

01:56 , Adam White

AND NOW IT IS GAGA

01:54 , Adam White

And the award for Best Animated Short Film goes to... The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse, which you may remember from its presence on the BBC schedules last Christmas

01:51 , Adam White

And the award for Best Documentary Short goes to… The Elephant Whisperers!

01:50 , Adam White

Quick bit of (deeply embarrassing) trivia: Ruth E Carter’s Costume Design win earlier tonight for Black Panther: Wakanda Forever makes her the first Black woman to ever win two Oscars.

01:45 , Adam White

Something you may have missed earlier was this very sweet singalong of ‘Happy Birthday’ to actor James Martin from the Oscar-winning short An Irish Goodbye.

01:42 , Adam White

And now the winner for Best International Feature goes to... All Quiet on the Western Front!

01:36 , Adam White

The win for Best Makeup for The Whale has been met with criticism, particularly the use of that image from the film as a backdrop...

01:28 , Adam White

And the winner for Best Costume Design goes to... Black Panther: Wakanda Forever!

01:27 , Adam White

And now we have Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Paul Dano presenting Best Costume Design

01:25 , Adam White

“Here’s your friend Brendan Gleeson, whose finger you ate!”

01:25 , Adam White

In the biggest celebrity spotting of the night, Jimmy Kimmel has just brought out Jenny the Donkey from The Banshees of Inisherin. My heart!

01:19 , Adam White

The big cheers for The Whale may tease a possible Brendan Fraser win later on, or at least confirm that the Academy dug the movie a lot more than other people did.

01:17 , Adam White

And the award for Best Makeup and Hairstyling goes to... The Whale!

01:16 , Adam White

And here we have Jennifer Connelly and Samuel L Jackson presenting the award for Makeup and Hairstyling...

01:09 , Adam White

We’re now on to a rendition of Best Original Song nominee “This Is the Life” by Everything Everywhere All at Once star Stephanie Hsu, David Byrne and Son Lux. Byrne also has hotdog fingers!

01:04 , Adam White

And the Cinematography winner is... All Quiet on the Western Front!

01:03 , Adam White

Creed III stars and all-round internet hunks Michael B Jordan and Jonathan Majors are here to announce the award for Cinematography...

01:02 , Adam White

In things you may have missed, Kate Hudson had to correct an interviewer on the red carpet earlier after she was called an “Oscar winner”, which... is not the case.

Kate Hudson awkwardly corrects reporter who thinks she’s won an Oscar

And Hugh Grant has divided viewers with his very awkward interaction with supermodel and red carpet presenter Ashley Graham

00:49 , Adam White

Riz Ahmed and Questlove are now here to present Best Documentary Feature

00:48 , Adam White

Angela Bassett is trending after missing out on a Best Supporting Actress win.

00:41 , Adam White

And now we’re onto a ghastly performance of Diane Warren’s Oscar-nominated song for a film called Tell It Like a Woman that may or may not actually exist.

00:38 , Adam White

Curtis has called out her Halloween fanbase in her awards speech: “To all of the people who have supported the genre movies that I have made all these years – the thousands and hundreds of people – we just won an Oscar together!”

00:37 , Adam White

So this is a wacky win. A lot of love in the room, but gulp.

00:36 , Adam White

And Best Supporting Actress goes to... Jamie Lee Curtis in Everything Everywhere All at Once!

00:35 , Adam White

And now we’re onto Best Supporting Actress. A lot of ambiguity surrounds the winner of this category. Gulp.

00:34 , Adam White

“To everyone out there, please keep your dream alive!”, Quan says through tears. He’s previously called out his “Goonies brother for life”, actor Jeff Cohen. Quan shot to childhood fame in The Goonies, while Cohen memorably played Chunk.

00:31 , Adam White

“My mom is 88 years old and watching from home – Ma, I just won an Oscar!”

00:31 , Adam White

A lot of love in the auditorium for Ke Huy Quan, an industry veteran in the midst of an enormous comeback

And Best Supporting Actor goes to... Ke Huy Quan for Everything Everywhere All at Once!

00:27 , Adam White

Troy Kotsur and Ariana DeBose are here to present the two Supporting Actress/Actor categories – thinking these wins will decide the mood of the night...

00:22 , Adam White

So that’s one down, with a voiceover promising (threatening?) a forthcoming appearance by Bafta singing standout Ariana DeBose, who will presumably be presenting the Best Supporting Actor Oscar.

00:20 , Adam White

“Please help us, keep animation in the conversation,” Del Toro says in his acceptance speech.

00:19 , Adam White
