The 90th Academy Awards was awash with moments of both poignancy and humour, as Hollywood’s biggest stars turned out in force to support the film industry and each other.

Highlights from the ceremony included Dame Helen Mirren riding onto the stage on a jet-ski, Guillermo del Toro celebrating his win for best director and Jennifer Lawrence speaking to other guests in the audience with a glass of wine in hand.
