Green Book sprang a surprise by winning the award for best picture at this year’s ceremony in Los Angeles.

Olivia Colman defied the odds to scoop an Oscar for best actress for her role in The Favourite and charmed viewers with a funny and tearful speech.

Green Book won three awards in total, including best picture, which had been expected to go to Netflix’s Roma.

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

Olivia Colman, who started out as a sidekick in TV sitcoms like Peep Show, was in shock when her name was called.

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

Olivia Colman is the first British actress to win the prize since Kate Winslet in 2009.

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

It was later reported that Rami Malek, 37, fell off the stage after the ceremony concluded and had to be helped into a seat by security staff.

He was reportedly attended to by paramedics, though he made no reference to the incident later when he spoke to reporters backstage.

Oscars 2019: Kevin Hart Steps Down from Hosting Ceremony Following Homophobic Tweets

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.

Green Book tells the story of Don Shirley’s tour to the racially segregated US Deep South in the 1960s, but its chances had been thought to have been dented by a series of controversies.

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

Richard E Grant, Rachel Weisz and Christian Bale lost out on the acting awards.

However, Mark Ronson shared the best song award with Lady Gaga, among others.

Paul Lambert and Tristan Myles shared the prize for best visual effects with two American colleagues for creating the rocket-rattling effects on First Man, about the first Moon landing.

Key crew members on Bohemian Rhapsody won the two sound awards.

The Oscars failed to find a main host this year after comedian Kevin Hart pulled out following a row about old homophobic tweets.

Instead of having the traditional opening monologue, Tina Fey, Maya Rudolph and Amy Poehler appeared to introduce the show as well as presenting the first award.

“We are not your hosts this year but if we had hosted, it probably would have gone like this,” Tina Fey said – before the trio launched into a sketch poking fun at some of the nominees, which is one of the host’s usual jobs.

The ceremony continued to rely on a procession of stars presenting individual awards.

However, it didn’t obviously suffer from the lack of an overarching host, and it helped the event move along.

Queen, fronted by singer Adam Lambert, had opened the ceremony with a bombastic medley of We Will Rock You and We Are the Champions as A-listers waved and clapped along in their seats.

For the first time in 30 years, the 2019 Oscars ceremony will be held without an official host after Kevin Hart’s withdrawal.

The head of ABC Entertainment, which airs the Academy Awards ceremony, said it would instead highlight celebrities presenting the trophies.

Reports had suggested the ABC Entertainment was struggling to fill the role – one of the toughest in US show business.

In December, Kevin Hart pulled out of hosting this year’s ceremony following a controversy over old homophobic tweets.

The comedian said he did not want to be a distraction and that he was “sorry he had hurt people”.

The Oscars host usually delivers an opening monologue as well as being responsible for many of the ceremony’s memorable comedic moments.

As well as the main host, the ceremony also usually enlists an array of movie stars to present the individual statuettes.

ABC Entertainment president Karey Burke said this year’s ceremony on February 24 in Los Angeles would “just have presenters host the Oscars”.

The decision was taken after Kevin Hart’s withdrawal, she said.

Karey Burke added that “the mystery” hanging about this year’s event “has been compelling”, proving that viewers were keen to watch it.

Oscars 2019: Kevin Hart Steps Down from Hosting Ceremony Following Homophobic Tweets

A number of Academy Awards ceremonies have had no host. The last time, in 1989, proved highly controversial, not least due to an opening number featuring Rob Lowe and an actress dressed as Disney’s Snow White.

A group of leading Hollywood figures wrote an open letter after the ceremony, calling the telecast “an embarrassment to both the Academy and the entire motion picture industry”.

The Walt Disney Company also filed a legal action against the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, accusing the organization of copyright infringement.

The role of anchoring the Oscars has thrown up problems for a number of hosts since then. The Hollywood Reporter has described it as “the least wanted job in Hollywood”.

The controversy about Kevin Hart’s tweets and the choice not to replace him with a single host follows a difficult few years for the Academy.

The 2017 ceremony was rocked by the so-called “Envelopegate” scandal, in which La La Land was wrongly named best picture instead of the actual winner Moonlight.

Plans to introduce a popular film award category were shelved last year following widespread criticism.

The Academy has also been stung by the #OscarsSoWhite campaign, prompted by the all-white line-ups in the four categories for acting in 2015 and 2016.

Detainment, the British film recreating events around the notorious murder of two-year-old James Bulger, will be allowed to compete at the Oscars, the awards’ organizers say.

James Bulger’s mother, Denise Fergus, had called for the movie to be withdrawn, after it was nominated in the best live action short category.

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences said it takes Denise Fergus’s concerns “very seriously” but maintains a “neutral role” in the voting process.

It said academy members applied their “own judgment” on the film’s merits.

James Bulger was a month short of his third birthday when he was abducted by two 10-year-old boys, Jon Venables and Robert Thompson, at the Strand shopping center in Bootle, Merseyside, the UK, in 1993.

Detainment, directed by Vincent Lambe, recreates the police interviews with James’ killers, by using transcripts from the original tapes played in court during their trial.

Denise Fergus had said she was haunted by some of the imagery in the movie and called on the academy to remove it from next month’s ceremony or for Vincent Lambe to withdraw it.

In statement the academy said it “offers its deepest condolences to Ms. Fergus and her family. We are deeply moved and saddened by the loss that they have endured, and we take their concerns very seriously.”

The statement added: “Following longstanding foundational principles established to maintain the integrity of the awards, the Academy does not in any way influence the voting process.

“Detainment was voted on by Academy members. When making their choices, each individual applies their own judgment regarding the films’ creative, artistic and technical merits.

“We understand that this will not alleviate the pain experienced by the family; however we hope it clarifies the Academy’s neutral role in the voting process.”

An online petition calling on Detainment to be dropped from the Academy Awards in Los Angeles on February 24 has attracted more than 100,000 signatures.

However, Vincent Lambe has refused to withdraw his work, saying: “I think it would defeat the purpose of making the film.”

He said he did not mean any disrespect by not consulting Denise Fergus or her family but maintained: “The film was made in the interest of understanding why it happened in order to prevent something similar happening again in the future.”

Jon Venables and Robert Thompson, who were convicted of murder after a 17-day trial at Preston Crown Court in November 1993, have since been released from detention and given new identities.

Kevin Hart has decided to quit as host of the 2019 Oscars following a controversy over homophobic tweets.

The actor said he did not want to be a distraction and that he was “sorry he had hurt people”.

The choice of Kevin Hart for host was only announced on December 4.

However, tweets from a decade ago emerged of anti-gay slurs, sparking calls for the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences to drop him.

Kevin Hart had said hosting the Oscars was “a goal on my list for a long time”.

In a tweet on December 6, the actor said he had chosen to step down” because I do not want to be a distraction on a night that should be celebrated by so many amazing talented artists”.

He said: “I’m sorry that I hurt people.. I am evolving and want to continue to do so. My goal is to bring people together not tear us apart. Much love & appreciation to the Academy. I hope we can meet again.”

Comments Kevin Hart made during a comedy routine in 2010 have been put under the spotlight in recent days.

“One of my biggest fears is my son growing up and being gay. That’s a fear,” the actor told the audience.

“Keep in mind, I’m not homophobic, I have nothing against gay people, be happy. Do what you want to do.

“But me, being a heterosexual male, if I can prevent my son from being gay, I will.”

In 2015, by which time Kevin Hart’sprofile had risen significantly, the actor addressed the comments in an interview with Rolling Stone.

He said: “I wouldn’t tell that joke today, because when I said it, the times weren’t as sensitive as they are now.

“I think we love to make big deals out of things that aren’t necessarily big deals, because we can.”

When Kevin Hart revealed he would bethe Oscars host earlier this week, he said it was the “opportunity of alifetime for me as a comedian” and that his mother was “smiling fromear to ear right now”.
