It was a big night for Hollywood.

And today, all of Hollywood mends their sore heads after the 92nd annual Academy Awards.

Last night, all areas of the movie industry touched down in Los Angeles for the biggest awards show of the year.

From filmmakers to actors, musicians and directors, it was a night of glitz, glamour and celebration.

But in case you didn’t stay up until crazy o’clock to watch the red carpet and awards, here are some highlights from last night.

Joaquin Phoenix took home the award for best leading actor for his portrayal of the Joker in Joker. Getting emotional while quoting a song from his late brother, River Phoenix, Joaquin said:

“I just… I want to um… when he… when he was… when he was 17, my brother wrote this lyric, ‘run to the rescue love and peace will follow.”‘

In 1993, River Phoenix died of a drug overdose aged 23. Four years earlier in 1989 he was nominated for an Oscar and so, a bittersweet moment for his younger brother when taking to the stage last night.

Last night history was also made at the Oscars – Parasite won Best Picture. The first ever non-English speaking film to nab the leading award. Funny, perceptive, and deeply upsetting, the movie has been picking up awards left, right, and centre ever since awards season began.

A photo and quote from Kobe Bryant opened the “In Memoriam” section of the Oscars last night. Taking a moment to acknowledge some of the exceptional talent lost in the past year, Billie Eilish sang The Beatles “Yesterday” while the images played on screen.

Kirk Douglas finished the tribute, following his death aged 103 on Wednesday.

In terms of red carpet fashion – conscious choices were a big factor for stars this year.

Margot Robbie and Lily Aldridge chose to borrow dresses from brands instead of purchasing something new or getting one custom made.

Joaquin Phoenix continued by wearing his “awards season suit” to another event. Elizabeth Banks and Jane Fonda re-wore dresses they have previously taken to the red carpet in.

In terms of cringe moments, James Cordon and Rebel Wilson took home that Oscar. Taking to the stage dressed as cats while bashing their latest flick Cats which flopped in the box office.

Meow?

The night also featured some incredible music performances with Idina Menzel taking to the stage to sing Frozen 2 – Into The Unknown alongside ladies who played Elsa in other countries and languages.

In terms of Oscar after party highlights and style, Kylie Jenner is living proof that “beauty is pain” as she shared a photo of her dress that was so tight she couldn’t sit down.
