Every time anyone involved with this genre-defying film wins an award, they are overcome with emotion. But as Beverley Wang explains, these are healing tears.

Eva Longoria speaks on how much further Hollywood has to go

Speaking to Variety at the Vanity Fair after party, actress Eva Longoria said Hollywood still has a way to go in terms of diversity and representation.
'Tonight, we freaking broke that glass ceiling': Michelle Yeoh
By Jessica Riga
Speaking backstage, Michelle Yeoh said it's a historical moment and thanked the Academy for embracing true representation, saying it's been a long time coming.
"We need this, because there are so many who have felt unseen, unheard. It's not just the Asian community. This is for the Asian community but for anybody who identifies as a minority. We deserve to be heard, we deserve to be seen, we deserve to have equal opportunities so that we can have a seat at the table. That's all we are asking for. Let us prove that we are worth it."

Some stars wore a blue ribbon to the Oscars. What did it represent?
By Jessica Riga
The blue ribbon says "#WithRefugees" and was created in partnership with the UN Refugee Agency's Coalition.
It's meant to be an "emblem of compassion and solidarity" with refugees, displaced people, and those who have been forced to flee their homes because of war, conflict, and persecution.

Reminder of why I love Andrew Garfield

Ruth Carter found out *after* her award that she made history
By Jessica Riga
Kyle Buchanan is at the Governors Ball and (unknowingly) broke the news to Ruth Carter that she's the first black woman to win two Oscars (Best Costuming for both Black Panther films.)
"I did not know that," she said, then pausing.
"That's crazy. That's a hard act to follow. But that just means that we need more representation."

What was in the gift bags for the Oscar nominees?
By Jessica Riga
Our mates at The Drum have had a peak inside the goodie bag, with Karen Tong writing:
Even though our Cate didn't win the Best Leading Actress, she – along with all the nominees in the acting and directing categories – received a couple of three-night stays at luxury resorts in Canada and Italy, several multi-thousand dollar cosmetic procedure vouchers, and a hand soap that washes your jewellery as you wash your hands.
Oh also, one square metre of land in Australia!
That's right – Pieces of Australia paid $4,000 for a spot in the exclusive gift bag, and they've gifted nominees with the 'Aussie Mate Conservation Pack'.
It includes a dedicated plot of land measuring one square metre, a personalised Certificate of Land Licence, and the planting of two trees.
But, there’s not much the nominees can do with the land, as the website states in the T&Cs that the land license is essentially a "symbolic souvenir".
Ana was channeling Marilyn on the red carpet

Trust @dietprada to dive into the history books and a helping of sass. (In case you somehow missed it, Kim Kardashian caused a stir when she wore Marilyn's dress to the previous Met Gala.)

As an F1 fan, it's very strange to see Jean Todt in the front row at the Oscars.
- Alain
OMG. Today I learnt Michelle Yeoh's partner is Jean Todt.
As a fellow F1 fan, my worlds are colliding.

Heya! There are multiple after parties but the Vanity Fair one is the BIG one.
And yes there will be more looks! We don't get to go inside the party, but there's another carpet and more chances for photos.
