THE 91ST ACADEMY Awards took place in LA last night, and everything went smoothly despite the lack of host.
Green Book was the sleeper hit, beating out the competition to be named Best Picture and Original Screenplay, as well as securing a Supporting Actor award for Mahershala Ali.
The other big winners of the night were Queen biopic Bohemian Rhapsody and Netflix hit Roma.
Roma picked up Best Foreign Language Film, while director Alfonso Cuaron earned his third and fourth Oscars, winning Best Director and Best Cinematography for the film.
Rami Malek took Best Actor for his role as Freddie Mercury in Bohemian Rhapsody, with the film also taking awards for Best Sound Editing, Sound Mixing, and Editing.
It wasn’t a great night for Irish co-production The Favourite, which only managed to pick up Best Actress for star Olivia Colman out of its nine nominations.
Other Irish hopefuls Late Afternoon lost out to Bao in Best Animated Short, while Detainment, an Irish film about the murder of Jamie Bulger, lost out to Skin in the Live Action Short category.
