It was a night of few shocks as hot favourites The Artist, Meryl Streep and Jean Dujardin landed the big three awards at the Oscars.
Silent film The Artist won the best picture, its leading man Dujardin bagged the best actor trophy while it also picked up best costume design and original score.
Morgan Freeman opened the awards before host Billy Crystal appeared in a spoof showreel based on scenes from nominated films including The Descendants, The Help and The Artist.
Crystal told the audience it was his ninth time hosting the event, joking "so tonight, just call me War Horse".
He then launched into a song based on the films nominated for the best picture Oscar, after joking "Nothing can take the sting out of the world's economic problems like millionaires presenting each other golden statues".
Earlier in the night, stars including Gwyneth Paltrow, Brad Pitt, George Clooney, Jessica Chastain and the star of The Artist, Berenice Bejo, greeted fans, signed autographs and posed for photographers outside the Kodak Theatre in Los Angeles.

He paid tribute to his co-star Ewan McGregor whom he said he would "happily share this award with, if I had any decency, but I don't".

The award for original screenplay went to Woody Allen for Midnight in Paris - his tribute to the French capital in the 1920s when it was home to expat-American writers including F Scott Fitzgerald and Ernest Hemingway.
The veteran star famously rarely attends the Oscars so Jolie accepted it on behalf of the academy.
The six stars of Bridesmaids handed out prizes for live action short film to Terry and Oorlagh George's Northern Ireland-set The Shore.
Mr George dedicated his win to "the people of Northern Ireland, Protestant and Catholic, who after 30 years of war sat down, negotiated a peace and proved to the world that the Irish are great talkers".
