AS IT HAPPENED: Everything that happened at Oscars 2019 while you were sleeping

FINAL VERDICT

Oscars 2019 without a host ended up being better than we expected.

All the winners at Oscars 2019

Cape Town - The 91st Academy Awards took place at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles on Sunday night.

Read our review for the Best Picture winner. 

Green Book

Cultures clash when a working-class Italian-American from the Bronx becomes the driver for a classically trained pianist on a concert tour of the American South. Two very different, strong-willed men break through barriers of race, class, and education to form a deep and enduring bond - on the journey of a lifetime.

What an upset we never saw this one coming!

What will win best picture? It's a maddeningly close race

New York - On a year where one of the lead Oscar contenders is titled The Favourite, the 91st Academy Awards lack a clear front runner. Normally a fairly predictable process with one or two favorites, this year's best picture race has been maddeningly unclear, almost devious in its contradictions.

No caption needed.

WINNER:

Best Original Screenplay - Green Book, Nick Vallelonga, Brian Currie and Peter Farrelly.
