All the best looks from the red carpet

If you're just joining us, Hollywood's biggest stars delivered all the glitz and glamour as they arrived for the Oscars in Los Angeles.

Demi Moore, Timothee Chalamet, Ariana Grande, Zoe Saldana and Kieran Culkin were among the A-list nominees who walked the carpet ahead of the ceremony - which saw Anora crowned the night's big winner, with five awards.

Julia Fox: Anora's success is a step in the right direction

We've just caught up with actress Julia Fox on the red carpet at the afterparty hosted by Sir Elton John, who tells us Anora's big wins at the Oscars are a "step in the right direction".

The film won five gongs including best picture, with Mikey Madison also picking up best actress for her role playing a sex worker who marries the son of a Russian oligarch.

"It's such a big step, when I watched Anora I felt they were telling my story... I don't think I've ever felt so seen in a movie," Fox told our arts and entertainment producer Jayson Mansaray.

"It's such a beautiful film and is such a step forward for sex workers. My only hope is that one day a sex worker can be up there on that stage too giving that speech and receiving that award.

"But I think it's a step in the right direction, it needed to happen."

Backstage highlights: From Mikey Madison's puppies to Adrien Brody's grandparents

After seeing off the competition and collecting their statuettes, the winners at this year's Academy Awards head to the winners' room.

Here are some of those backstage highlights:

Anora director calls for decriminalisation of sex work

Anora director Sean Baker said his last four films have covered the topic of sex work, with his latest - which just scooped five gongs at the Oscars - being the culmination of his work.

Asked what his message is to those who criticise sex workers, Baker said: "I have been pretty outspoken about my stance on sex work.

"It is our oldest profession, yet it has an incredibly unfair stigma attached to it, and what I have been trying to do with my films is chip away at that very unfair stigma

"Personally I think it should be decriminalised and through my work through humanising my characters... it will help do that."

Adrien Brody honoured his grandparents in The Brutalist

Taking one of the big three awards of the night, Adrien Brody said appearing in The Brutalist gave him the opportunity to be a part of something with "importance".

The actor, who has Jewish family, said he was able to honour his grandparents in the film - which focuses on a Hungarian-Jewish architect who escapes the Holocaust and rebuilds his life in the US.

"My grandparents' struggles and their loss and their resilience paved a way for my own good fortune, and I had an opportunity to honour them in this film," he said.

Mikey Madison's new furry friends will help keep her feet on the ground

Still high off her win for best actress, Anora's Mikey Madison said she never thought anything like this would happen in her lifetime.

"I dreamed of being an actress that could be in a film like Anora. [It is a] huge honour, one that will sink in later down the line," she said.

Quizzed on what she thinks the future holds for her, the actress said she did not know her long-term plans, but tonight she needs to go back to being a dog parent.

She said: "Tonight I will go home to my new puppies and probably clean up their mess, and it will bring me right back down to earth."

The good! The bad! The chewing gum!

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.

Zoe Saldana 'open to sit down with all Mexicans' over film criticism

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."
