Sam Smith and partner Jimmy Napes now join Adele as writers of the only other James Bond theme to win an Oscar for Writing's on the Wall from Spectre.
On the carpet at the Vanity Fair party, Napes said: "We genuinely were really surprised and delighted, it's a dream come true."
Smith, who dedicated his win to the LGBT community around the world said: "I genuinely didn't think we would it but [the dedication] was something that I planned in my head, we're in shock. The whole thing's just amazing.
"We're going to retire - no more music. I've never felt like that in my whole life, overwhelmed, happy, it was amazing."
But he added his live performance of the song was "the worst moment of my life, singing was horrible, I was so nervous, I hated it".

Sacha Baron Cohen has added his thoughts to the Oscars diversity debate.
He appeared on stage at the event, dressed as his alter-ego Ali G who was representing "the black bloke from Star Wars... Darth Vader".
But how did he feel the evening had dealt with the issue?
Quote Message
I think ad nauseum, I think everyone is bored of it. I think Chris [Rock] dealt with it pretty well. There's a bigger issue that there has to be more diversity on all levels in Hollywood.
Quote Message
I think there will be some token changes, the academy will bring in some more black voters and some more roles will be given to black actors but more has to change.

Quote Message
When you hire Chris Rock, whatever is happening in the zeitgeist will come through. He didn't pull punches and I loved that. I love that he wasn't fake.
'He did it! He really did it!'published at 06:44 Greenwich Mean Time 29 February 2016

This film gave a voice to survivors and this Oscar amplifies that voice we hope will become a choir that will resonate all the way to the Vatican. Pope Francis it's time to protect the children and restore the faith.

Making The Revenant was about man's relationship to the natural world. A world we felt in 2015 as the hottest year in history. Climate change is real - it is happening right now. It is the most urgent threat right now to our entire species and we need to work now. Let us not take this planet for granted. I do not take tonight for granted.
