It rained
It never rains in LA, of course, but just for the Oscars the weatherman brought some showers and sprinkles to the red carpet. Oh the horror. Even Eddie Redmayne apologised for bringing the 'shoddy weather' over from Britain. And Jared Leto brought an umbrella. He ain't stupid you know.
Dakota Johnson wins at life
The dress, the understated hair, the killer smile, Dakota is showing famous people everywhere just how you do it.
Ladies in red
Joining Dakota in red carpet red were Rosamund Pike and Behati Prinsloo. It's a tried and tested formula, but it certainly works.
Brits in Brits
The Theory of Everything stars Eddie Redmayne and Felicity Jones in dramatic Alexander McQueen numbers. Enough said.
Karl Lagerfeld made this for me...
Julianne Moore gives the answer to end all 'what are you wearing' questions. Talk about shutting down the red carpet.
Bow ties & colourful suits
The men are really upping their game for the Oscars. Gone are the days of the classic black suit, this year it's all about Eddie Redmayne in blue velvet, David Oyelowo in maroon, and J.K. Simmons who donned a hat, because why not?
The Stone/Aniston love-in
Just this. Our two favourite Hollywood ladies, together, loving each other. Can we be in your gang?
Robert Duvall wins best husband
When asked who he would write fan mail to on the red carpet, he simply replied, 'my wife'. Oh you guys.
Steve Carell for #HeForShe
Wearing cufflinks to show his support for gender inequality. We couldn't possibly love you more (and neither could Emma Watson, who wrote him a love letter on Facebook).
Bring your family to work
Sienna Miller and her dad, Idris Elba and his daughter, Dakota Johnson and her mum Melanie Griffith, Patricia Arquette and her whole family. Well if we'd been nominated for an Oscar, we'd expect them to be invited too.
The rat pack
The boys of The Grand Budapest Hotel pulled together for one rather epic shot. We love you Wes, and Adrien Brody, and Ralph Fiennes.
The selfies
It wouldn't be the Oscars without some kind of selfie. And proving she's was just excited as us, Reese Witherspoon shared this cute-as-a-button red carpet one. While J.Lo couldn't help but share selfies with bloody everyone.
The seating plan
Whoever thought of putting Meryl Streep and J.Lo next to each other was an absolute genius.
When Keira met Gaga...
It was, well, awkward. Maybe because Gaga was wearing an egg (as described by Alexa Chung) and latex rubber gloves. As you do.
The opening sequence
It took approximately 10 seconds for Neil Patrick Harris to break into dance with the best start to the Oscars we've ever seen. We're talking Anna Kendrick as Cinderella, the line: 'Secretly I hope someone pulls a Kanye West,' and this cameo from Benedict Cumberbatch....
What we learnt from the acceptance speeches...
J.K Simmons told us all: 'If you're lucky enough to have a parent or two alive in the world, call them. Don't text them,' while Graham Moore, who adpated the screen play for The Imitation Game said: 'Stay weird, stay different, and when it's your turn standing on the stage, pass that message on.' We're listening.
John Travolta was a bit in appropriate
Not only did he touch Idina Menzel's face a lot, he also made Scarlett Johansson feel a little bit uncomfortable...
Lady Gaga takes on Maria
Yes, Lady Gaga ditched her strange rubber gloves and took to the stage to pay tribute to The Sound of Music. And, actually, she was pretty damn good. Until Julie Andrews came out, hugged her, completely upstaged her and sent Twitter into a frenzy.
Two words, Patricia Arquette
As if we didn't love her enough after the Golden Globes and the BAFTAs, now she gives the speech to win all speeches. Calling for gender equality she said: 'We have fought for everybody else’s equal rights. It’s time for us to have equal pay too.’ Which resulted in Meryl Streep doing this...
Of which Arquette said... 'I hugged her afterwards, she’s the queen, the patron saint of all actresses.' Yeah she is.
