The prizes for the 2023 Oscars have been handed out, leaving stars of the big screen to party for the rest of the night.
In addition to a star-studded “champagne” carpet that marked a change from the traditional red, this year’s awards, which was helmed by Jimmy Kimmel, featured countless Hollywood’s A-listers, with live music performances from Rihanna and Lady Gaga.
There were plenty of antics as stars arrived at the ceremony, including a heroic moment from Gaga as she rescued a photographer, and a sweet PDA from Nicole Kidman and her husband, country music star Keith Urban.
