British actress Daisy Ridley, who presented the Oscar for best documentary feature, may star in the biggest film of all time at the UK box office - Star Wars: The Force Awakens - but she revealed she is also just a fan at heart.

"I just met Brie Larson and she's won an Oscar, so now I'm friends with an Oscar-winner," she cheerfully told the BBC.

Sam Smith and partner Jimmy Napes now join Adele as writers of the only other James Bond theme to win an Oscar for Writing's on the Wall from Spectre.

On the carpet at the Vanity Fair party, Napes said: "We genuinely were really surprised and delighted, it's a dream come true."

Smith, who dedicated his win to the LGBT community around the world said: "I genuinely didn't think we would it but [the dedication] was something that I planned in my head, we're in shock. The whole thing's just amazing.

"We're going to retire - no more music. I've never felt like that in my whole life, overwhelmed, happy, it was amazing."

But he added his live performance of the song was "the worst moment of my life, singing was horrible, I was so nervous, I hated it".

Sacha Baron Cohen has added his thoughts to the Oscars diversity debate.

He appeared on stage at the event, dressed as his alter-ego Ali G who was representing "the black bloke from Star Wars... Darth Vader".

But how did he feel the evening had dealt with the issue? 

Quote Message: I think ad nauseum, I think everyone is bored of it. I think Chris [Rock] dealt with it pretty well. There's a bigger issue that there has to be more diversity on all levels in Hollywood.

Leonardo DiCaprio was a popular winner among his fellow celebrities.  

  And the best (sort of) celebrity reaction...  

  Spotlight's @markruffalo: "I tried to make off with the big one. Security stopped me. Darn it.#oscars"  

He may have missed out on a nomination this year but nine-year-old star of Room, Jacob Tremblay, has taken it on the chin and has won the public's collective heart with his appearances at awards ceremonies.

And his now cute factor has gone off the charts.

Here's how much Chris Rock managed to raise when he urged the collected A-listers to dig deep and buy his daughters' and their friends' cookies.

That's a lot of cookies. Unless they were just really, really expensive.

We cannot wait for the movie which reunites this gang of actors.

A remake or something new? Send us your thoughts...

Now the ceremony is over, everyone can finally relax, not least those successful people who will be accompanied home by a little, golden, bald headed fellow...
