Green Book wins Oscar for best film

British actress Olivia Colman won Oscar as best actress for her role in The Favourite and Green Book won the award for best film.

Colman charmed viewers with a funny and tearful speech.

Green Book won three trophies in total, including best picture, which had been widely expected to go to Roma.

Bohemian Rhapsody won the most awards in total with four, while Roma and Black Panther also won three each.

Glenn Close had been the firm favourite for her role in The Wife - and now has the unenviable record of seven nominations without a win.

Holding back tears on stage, Colman said: "It's genuinely quite stressful. This is hilarious. I've got an Oscar!"

The four awards for Bohemian Rhapsody, the authorised biopic of Queen and Freddie Mercury, included best actor for Rami Malek, who won rave reviews for playing the late singer.

Mahershala Ali won his second best supporting actor Oscar in three years. He won for Moonlight in 2017 and has now won for playing jazz pianist Don Shirley in Green Book.

A tearful Regina King won best supporting actress for If Beale Street Could Talk, from what was her first Oscar nomination.

Lady Gaga was among the winners for the best original song prize for Shallow from A Star Is Born after performing an impassioned duet with co-star Bradley Cooper.
