Mick Jagger, 81, handed over this award for best original song, joking that the Academy's first choice, Bob Dylan, had suggested they choose someone younger than him, which is why the Rolling Stone ended up with the honour.

Clément Ducol, Camille and Jacques Audiard won for El Mal from Emilia Pérez, a song about the corruption and hypocrisy of politicians.

"We wrote it as a song to denounce corruption and we hope it shows how art can continue to play as a force of the good and progress in the world," said Camille.

Her husband Clément Ducol then spoke, thanking "our phenomenal Zoe and Karla for bringing it to life," before Camille repeatedly warbled the name Emila to the audience.

Backstage, the Substance’s makeup and hairstylist team were asked if there’s a message in this film, about women and ageing.

"Of course there would be a message," replied Stéphanie Guillon, especially in this day and age, where a woman "always needs to beautiful, smiling".

Pierre-Olivier Persin added: "When she turns into a monster, she’s the happiest… That’s one thing."

Introducing the award, Mick Jagger says he was second choice to present - after Bob Dylan. They wanted someone younger, says Jagger - who at 81 is two years younger than Dylan's 83.

The nominees were:

• Never Too Late - Elton John: Never Too Late
• El Mal - Emilia Pérez
• Mi Camino - Emilia Pérez
• Like A Bird - Sing Sing

It's Zoe Saldaña's first Oscar, winning best supporting actress for Emilia Pérez.

She broke down immediately, crying out "Mommy", to her mother in the audience.

"I am floored by this honour," she wept, paying tribute to her fellow nominees for their "loving and community", saying "I will pay it forward".

Praising the film's cast and crew and everyone who works with her, she got more emotional as she mentioned her family.

"Everything brave, outrageous and good I've ever done in my life is because of you," she said, praising her husband, his "beautiful hair" and their three sons.

"My grandmother came to this country in 1961 - I am a proud child of immigrant parents with dreams and dignity and hardworking hands.

"I'm the first American of Dominican origin to accept an Academy Award and I know I won't be the last.

"Getting an award where I got to sing and speak in Spanish - this is for my grandmother."

Yikes. British dramatist Peter Straughan from papal selection drama Conclave was just asked by one of the reporters backstage what it was like seeing the Oscars race play out, while the pope himself has been unwell.

“To be honest, it feels bad taste to bring the Pope’s health into a celebratory environment,” Straughan said.

“But I wish him well for a speedy recovery.”

He went on to say how much the award, for best adapted screenplay, meant to him – saying that when he was growing up in Gateshead, Hollywood felt like an “alien world”.

Blockbuster queen Zoe Saldaña has been the frontrunner for this award all season for her portrayal of a lawyer called Rita in Emilia Perez.

Her character finds herself involved with a Mexican drug kingpin (Karla Sofía Gascón), who is seeking gender reassignment surgery.

The experimental genre-busting Netflix movie is a far cry from the commercial movies she made her name in, such as the Avatar and Avengers films but it looks like her bold move to try something different paid off.

The nominees in this category were:

• Monica Barbaro (A Complete Unknown)
• Ariana Grande (Wicked)
• Felicity Jones (The Brutalist)
• Isabella Rossellini (Conclave)
• Zoe Saldaña(Emilia Pérez)

Culkin wins supporting actor: He took the moment to tell a story of him and his wife Jazz Charton, who promised him a fourth child if he won an Oscar.

Backstage, Wicked’s Paul Tazewell reflected on what it meant to become the first black man to win costume design.

“This is the pinnacle of my career,” he said. He said he had been designing costumes for more than 35 years.

“The whole way, there was never a black male designer that I saw that I could follow,” he said.

“To realise that that’s actually me, it becomes a really powerful moment.” When asked what he’d say to his younger self, he said: “Hold on tight, it will all be fine, and the world is going to be wonderful.”

This graphic, body horror film explores how a TV personality, whose star is fading, clings to fame by taking a black-market drug which generates a beautiful, younger clone. It explores the societal pressures older women face as they age.

Demi Moore plays the older version, while Margaret Qualley plays the clone. Moore told the BBC it was "liberating" going to "such a raw, vulnerable place".

Qualley said her character "taught me to appreciate what I have, and gave me a closeness to myself that I really value".

• A Different Man
• Emilia Pérez
• Nosferatu
• The Substance

Backstage, Iranian filmmakers Hossein Molayemi and Shirin Sohani - who just won an Oscar for their film In the Shadow of the Cyprus - told journalists how difficult it had been to get their project off the ground.

They said they faced “mental pressure” from the economic crisis, while a lot of artists left the country, making it hard to find animators for the film.

It took more than six years to make a film just 20 minutes long, they shared. “All those hard years paid off,” Shirin Sohani said.

Brit Peter Straughan is no stranger to success, having previously adapted films such as Tinker, Tailor, Soldier Spy (which he earned an Oscar nomination for) and critically acclaimed TV series Wolf Hall. This is his first Oscar for pope drama Conclave.

Great to hear a north east accent (he's originally from Gateshead) in Hollywood!

He thanked Robert Harris for his "beautiful book - we're all standing on your shoulders." Conclave is based on the book of the same name.

Straughan said the prize was for his daughter Connie who accompanied him (but that thet statue still really belonged to him!)

Anora has had its first win of the night - writer and director Sean Baker won for original screenplay, one of his four nominations.

Anora - the film's title character played by Mikey Madison - is a stripper and occasional sex worker who meets her Prince Charming, Ivan, at work.

But in this modern take on a fairy tale, it’s unfortunate that Ivan is the spoiled son of a Russian oligarch, played by Mark Eydelshteyn.

After he spontaneously proposes, and they marry in Las Vegas, Anora fights hard for the happy ending she so desperately wants.

Madison told the BBC it was a dream role, where she got to display everything from steely strength to delicate fragility.

Best adapted screenplay nominees:

• A Complete Unknown - Jay Cocks and James Mangold
• Conclave - Peter Straughan
• Emilia Pérez - Jacques Audiard
• Nickel Boys - RaMell Ross and Joslyn Barnes
• Sing Sing - Clint Bentley and Greg Kwedar

Sean Baker thanks his “incredible” cast and thanks them for making him look “very good”, as he accepted the award for best original screenplay.

He then thanks the sex worker community. "They have shared their stories, they have shared their life experiences with me over the years," he said.
