Oscars 2019: The winners, jaw-dropping dresses and best red carpet moments

Appearing not to care about the potential red carpet clash, several stars opted for punchy pink hues of varying degrees.

Gemma Chan's was patently one of the best of the night, while Kacey Musgraves opted for similar levels of flounce channelling hers via layers of frothy tulle in a delicate pastel hue.

Helen Mirren also went pink, neglecting more subtle options for a punchy watermelon take by Schiaparelli, while Bridesmaids star Maya Rudolph did her own thing and added a floral print to her traditionally feminine base tone.

As for beauty looks, there was a complete whirl of incredible dresses, gravity-defying updos and statement lipstick on the red carpet.

Style chameleons Emilia Clarke and Charlize Theron debuted bold new hairstyles - and with all eyes on the red carpet, there's no better place than the Oscars to experiment.

Who hosted?

After a successful two year run, Jimmy Kimmel was due to be succeeded by comedian and actor Kevin Hart as the official host of this year’s awards ceremony. Hart originally expressed his joy on Instagram: “To be able to join the legendary list of hosts that have graced that stage is unbelievable”. However, he has now announced he's stepping down as host amid a slew of backlash over some old homophobic tweets that were recently unearthed.

Speaking on the matter, he said: "I have made the choice to step down from hosting this year's Oscar's....this is because I do not want to be a distraction on a night that should be celebrated by so many amazing talented artists. I sincerely apologize to the LGBTQ community for my insensitive words from my past."

Who performed?

Queen put on an incredible performance at the epic awards ceremony. The band was composed of original members, guitarist Brian May and drummer Roger Taylor, fronted by singer Adam Lambert. The decision comes after the huge success of Bohemian Rhapsody, which was up for five Oscars. Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper also performed Shallows from A Star Is Born and sent the audience wild.

We might be biased but Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper WON the Oscars 2019 with their emotionally charged performance of Shallow from A Star Is Born .

Who delivered the best speech?

Olivia Colman beating Lady Gaga and Glenn Close to the Best Leading Actress award at the Oscars 2019 was one of the evening's most surprising turn of events.

Widely tipped to be foregone conclusion for Glenn Close - who has been nominated for seven awards but never taken home an award – the shock on Olivia’s face said it all.

Yes, this is the same actress who appeared in comedy hit, Peep Show, and had the country on the edge of the sofa in Broadchurch. Now a Hollywood star in her own right following Golden Globes and BAFTA wins for The Favourite where she plays Queen Anne, the actress will next be seen on screen taking on the role of our current queen in The Crown .

As her winning name was read aloud, Olivia received one massive kiss on the cheek from her co-star Emma Stone before she made her way to the stage. Clearly Emma was feeling it as much as we were, as she took to her feet for a prolonged standing ovation and, of course, a heavy side helping of tears.
