Yes, it appears best actor winner Adrien Brody really did throw his chewing gum at girlfriend Georgina Chapman to catch before he walked on stage for his acceptance speech.

Culture and entertainment reporter Gemma Peplow takes a look at this and more of the best bits from the night.

The Dolby Theatre is largely empty now as tonight's stars head to afterparties.

While they made their way, some stopped for pictures - including the winner of tonight's very first award, Kieran Culkin.

Emilia Perez itself didn't pick up as many awards as some had initially expected - with controversy surrounding its star - but it wasn't all bad news.

That's because Zoe Saldana continued to take plaudits this awards season, scooping best supporting actress and saluting her Dominican heritage in an emotional acceptance speech.

However, not everyone in Latin America has taken kindly to the film - which tells the story of a Mexican drug lord who undergoes gender affirmation surgery - with many hitting out at what they view as stereotypical depictions of Mexico. 

Saldana has just responded to that criticism.

"[I'm] very, very sorry that you and so many Mexicans felt offended, that was never our intention, we came from a place of love and I will stand by that," she said to a Mexican journalist.

"I dont share your opinion, for me the heart of this film was not Mexico, we were not making a film about a country, we were making a film about four women.

"These women could have been russian, could have been from Israel and these women are very universal women, who are struggling every day trying to survive systemic oppression, and I will stand by that.

"But I am always open to sit down with all of my Mexican brothers and sisters with love and respect to have a conversation about how Emilia could have been done better, I welcome it."

The ceremony's done, so now the winners have some time to bask in their glory.

It's big kisses for some, smiles for others - here's the latest from tonight's victors.

You didn't sleep through Oscars night, did you?

Well, fair enough. Here's the final score at a glance if you're just joining: 

Host Conan O'Brien brings the 97th Oscars to a close - but that's not all just yet.

While the awards ceremony is over, the afterparties are just about to begin.

Until then, we'll bring the latest as reactions come in to a big night for Anora.

A short drumroll later and it's Anora heading up to the stage once again.

It's been a huge night for the team, who are now collecting their Oscars for the best picture - their fifth overall for the night.

The cast of the comedy romance, about a stripper who falls for the son of a Russian oligarch, are joined on stage by producers Alex Coco, Samantha Quan and Sean Baker.

Coco said filmmakers need to keep making "independent film", adding he and his wife welcomed their son in October, "the same week we released Anora".

Quan said the movie was made with "very little money, and all of our hearts", while Baker said it took their "blood, sweat and tears".

A note for Baker too - he becomes the first person to win four Oscars for the same film, including best director, original screenplay, and editing.

It's the big one, and the last one - the nominees are:

Yet another win for the Anora team as Mikey Madison scoops the gong for best actress.

She's thanking her family, film staff and a whole host of people who've supported her until this moment.

Recognising her rivals, she says she's honoured to be named alongside their like.
