Celebrities from far and wide flocked to Los Angeles for this year's highly anticipated Oscars on Sunday night, from Rihanna and Cara Delevingne to Florence Pugh and Lady Gaga, with Jimmy Kimmel hosting the star-studded affair this year. It's been a busy awards season this year, with Everything Everywhere All At Once, The Whale, The Banshees of Inisherin and Tár proving as some of the critics' favourites.

“We’ve come a long way that two men can share an Oscar,” joked Academy Awards host Jimmy Kimmel after the commercial break following Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert’s win for Best Director for A24’s Everything Everywhere All at Once.

Everything Everywhere All At Once‘s Paul Rogers was clearly overwhelmed following the film’s Oscar win for Film Editing. “This is too much, wow, this is my second film y’all, this is crazy.” He went on to thank his wife, “the most incredible woman in the room,” his family, and cast.
