We'll see you next year.

Because who doesn't love a good stat.

Here's some analysis of this year's winners and their place in Academy history:

And here's how all the best picture winners have performed at the US box office so far (we suspect The Shape of Water in particular might just increase its takings this week.)

Gary Oldman is the latest star to turn up at the Vanity Fair after party - fresh from getting his best actor statue engraved.

"Just take me anywhere, take me anywhere. Anywhere away with you... as long as it's in a limo straight to the Vanity Fair Oscars after party please," as Rita Ora almost sang.

Miley Cyrus has also turned up at the biggest bash in town - we're not sure why but who cares because let's be honest there's literally no situation in life that cannot be improved by the arrival of Miley Cyrus.

Our arts correspondent Rebecca Jones is at the Vanity Fair party, where she just managed to grab Get Out star Daniel Kaluuya (along with cinematographer Roger Deakins) for long enough to get his reaction to tonight's winners.

"I'm happy, man. Jordan [Peele] won an Oscar, Roger won an Oscar. I'm just happy for good people who do the work and are recognised. For me, it fills me with joy seeing that."

Asked if he knew Get Out would be so successful when he first read it, he said:

Faye Dunaway has just been on BBC Breakfast ahead of the Vanity Fair party, discussing her return to the ceremony this year to announce the best picture winner alongside Warren Beatty.

She said: "Even though the card was wrong, I felt there was a slight stigma," - regarding her and Beatty's part in the mishap.

"And I’m so glad the Academy found a way [to bring us back].

"In psychiatry, there's the theory of repetition, you repeat something until it comes out right.

Speaking about the atmosphere in LA, she added: "They’re in the streets, they're dancing, they’re shouting out for the cars, it’s like a carnival a little bit, but the seriousness is there."

The stars are arriving thick and fast at the post-Oscars Vanity Fair party in Hollywood.

You've won an Oscar. You've thanked your parents. You've spoken to the journalists backstage.

Basically, now you just want to go out on the lash at the various LA after parties.

But before you do - there's one last little job that needs completing.

Because of the huge level of secrecy that surrounds the Oscars voting in the run up to the ceremony the organisers leave the trophies blank, so that there's no way of anyone finding out the winners beforehand.

So the winners get their statuettes engraved with their name or film straight after the ceremony. Guillermo del Toro, Gary Oldman, Frances McDormand and Jordan Peele have already got theirs sorted:

Ivory, at the age of 89, became the oldest person to ever win an Academy Award in a competitive category.

"That’s the only thing they’ve got remember about me," the screenwriter laughed as he spoke to the BBC.

He said he was "excited and thrilled" to have won best adapted screenplay for Call Me By Your Name - but he wasn't necessarily surprised.

"The press have said again and again that I was the front runner, so there wasn’t that element of surprise, but still, I might not have won," he laughed.

Asked about his shirt, which had a drawing of the film's star Timothee Chalamet's face on it, he explained:

...and fortunately Viola Davis was there to make sure this glorious moment was documented (in the form of a selfie).

There was a fairly even mix across the winners this year - with prizes for The Shape of Water, Three Billboards, Get Out, I Tonya and Darkest Hour.

So which films were snubbed?

Lady Bird was one of the night's big losers - it didn't pick up any of the prizes it was nominated for, despite being praised by critics and audiences alike.

Director Greta Gerwig was beaten by Guillermo del Toro, Saoirse Ronan lost out to Frances McDormand for best actress, while the film itself lost out in both the best picture and best original screenplay.

There was also nothing for The Post (starring Meryl Streep, pictured) or Mudbound, despite multiple nominations.

Roman J Israel, Esq, The Florida Project, All the Money in the World each had one nomination for this year's Oscars - but all went home empty handed.

The Oscars do love it when an actor slaps on some make-up and transforms into a British prime minister.

(See also: Meryl Streep winning for The Iron Lady in 2011.)

Gary Oldman said there was a "special significance" to winning the best actor Oscar for playing Sir Winston Churchill in Darkest Hour.

And he revealed he'd had some words of wisdom for fellow best actor nominee Timothee Chalamet.

And with that - he's off, doing a comedy walk off the stage after initially walking the wrong way.

Rachel Shenton's speech used sign language - while she is not the first to do so, she's in a select group.

Others include Jane Fonda, who signed part of her speech for winning best actress for Coming Home at the 1979 Oscars. Louise Fletcher did the same at the 1976 Oscars when she was named best actress for One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest.

And at the 1987 Oscars, Marlee Matlin - who lost her hearing as a child - also signed her speech for Children of a Lesser God. She was best actress too.

We had a bit of signing in the press room as well - with congratulations being offered by one journalist in sign language.

Jordan Peele said backstage there was a "renaissance" going on right now in the film world.

He said he especially enjoyed getting to chat to Gary Oldman backstage - saying he had been his favourite actor since Bram Stoker's Dracula and True Romance.

The main ceremony may be over, but now the parties begin...

Here are some of the attendees at the swanky Governor's Ball where 1,500 guests are dining on more than 50 dishes including 30 pounds (13.6 kg) of edible gold dust.

Let's hope no-one chews an Oscar by mistake.

Her speech was one of the most electrifying moments of the night.

And Frances McDormand was applauded for it in the press room - being the only winner to get a standing ovation as she walked in to be interviewed.

"Don't give me any more attention," she quips. "It will go to my head."

(As she was speaking to reporters, she paused to laugh at the fact journalists wanting to ask questions are asked to hold up pieces of paper with numbers on, saying: "It's like we're bidding on art.")

One of the impacts the film has had is the copycat billboards of protest that have sprung up around the world. McDormand is definitely here for it, crying: "Off the screen and onto the street! It's really exciting."

She mentions that the Grenfell Tower fire campaigners Justice 4 Grenfell were among the first to use billboards to draw attention to their cause.

The winners of all four acting categories gathered together backstage for the traditional group photo.

But we love this extra unposed picture which was taken just before the official one.

There's Sam Rockwell and Frances McDormand glancing at each other on the left, with the mischievous look of two people who are planning a massive diamond heist as soon as they can get out of the Dolby Theatre.

Meanwhile, Allison Janney looks like she's instantly regretting asking Gary Oldman to explain just what is the correct way to make the perfect cup of English breakfast tea he referred to in his acceptance speech.

Some winners seemed a bit bemused by the press room system that sees journalists holding up numbers, in order to be called on to ask questions (FYI mine was 143).

But for Jordan Peele, winner of best original screenplay for Get Out, it had slightly more sinister connotations - that's thanks to a scene in the film where there's some altogether more sinister bidding going on.

And then we had Gary Oldman suddenly transform into a bingo caller, saying: "Am I playing bingo right now? One and four, 14. One and one, legs eleven (he accompanied this last bit with a wolf whistle).

A very sweet moment in the press room from Guillermo del Toro, holding aloft his two Oscars for The Shape of Water - best director and best picture.

Here’s that unforgettable moment right at the end of the show (almost three hours and 50 mins after it started) when the winner for best costume design Mark Bridges glided onto the stage clutching his Oscar and riding a jetski accompanied by Dame Helen Mirren.

Bridges won the vehicle for giving the shortest Oscar speech of the night.

The look on his face makes us wonder which prize he likes best.
