A payback kiss, a surprise win, and defying gravity at the Oscars
This year's Oscars had it all - glamour, tears and the Wicked stars defying gravity. Here are some of the top moments from the biggest night in Hollywood.
There was an audible gasp from journalists in the winners' room when Mikey Madison was announced as the best actress winner.
Demi Moore was the favourite for much of this campaign. Things did shift after Madison's Bafta win, but the race remained incredibly tight.
In the end, it was Madison's night. It marked an incredible moment for a 25-year-old actress who was relatively unknown before her role in Anora.
This is exactly the type of rags-to-riches story that awards ceremonies love – and the film itself celebrates.
The film tells the story of sex worker Anora, who has a whirlwind ill-fated romance with the spoilt son of a Russian oligarch.
Edie Turquet, one of the young female dancers and strippers in the film, texted me to say it was "insane" that a film about sex workers could win best picture at the Oscars.
She added that she hoped it would "shift or at least challenge" perspectives of people towards her community.
We all knew it was coming but Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande belting out Wicked's anthem Defying Gravity was even better than we could have hoped for.
As Erivo, in a white gown, hit that final iconic note, the audience stood in applause.
The co-stars performed a medley of songs, including Somewhere Over the Rainbow, which Grande sang to open the show wearing a gorgeous red sequined dress.

On the red carpet, there was quite a moment when Halle Berry ran up to Adrien Brody and gave him a big kiss.
It recreated a moment at the 2003 Academy Awards, when Brody - having just won best actor for his performance in The Pianist - turned and kissed Berry, who had presented the award to him.
She told Variety: "I had to pay him back".
Speaking to Extra, she added that the only reason she did it was because Brody's girlfriend, Georgina Chapman, "was fine" with it.
The Oscars wrote on X with a clip of the kiss: "A reunion 22 years in the making".
