The Golden Compass picked up the award for best visual effects, with Sweeney Todd netting the one for art direction Photograph: PR

The award for best actress went to Marion Cotillard for her astonishing performance as Edith Piaf in La Vie en Rose, leaving British hopes for Julie Christie high and dry. The biopic of 'la mome' also picked up an award for best makeup Photograph: Ian West/PA

The Bourne Ultimatum scored a triple whammy with awards for best sound mixing, best sound editing and best film editing. Take a moment to feel a pang for sound editor Kevin O'Connell who got his 20th nomination for sound this year but has never actually won Photograph: PR

Robert Boyle looked delighted on the podium - surely nothing to do with the attentions of Ms Kidman. At 98, this is his first Oscar win, in a career that has included work as art director on The Birds and The Thomas Crown Affair Photograph: Mark J Terrill/AP

Best foreign film went to The Counterfeiters, which tells the story of Operation Bernhard - a German plot to destabilise Britain by flooding it with false currency during the second world war Photograph: PR

There Will Be Blood, the oil epic set in a stark Calilfornia, won best cinematography for Robert Elswit. It's his first Oscar, although he was nominated for Good Night, and Good Luck a couple of years ago Photograph: PR

The award for best original screenplay went to Diablo Cody, AKA Brook Busey-Hunt (which would you choose?). Juno, her story of a teenager's unplanned pregnancy, certainly won over the Guardian critics - Peter Bradshaw called it 'cinematic prozac' Photograph: Chris Carlson/AP

Dame Helen Mirren attempted a swift knighting of Daniel Day-Lewis ... or was that a sly bludgeon? In accepting the award for best actor, Day-Lewis said that the film 'sprang like a golden sapling from the head of Paul Thomas Anderson'. Moving on ... Photograph: Kevin Winter/Getty

The real golden boys of the night were Joel and Ethan Coen. No sooner had they nipped off stage clutching the award for best director, than they were back to join producer Scott Rudin (right) in accepting the award for best film. When you count the award for best adapted screenplay (from Cormac McCarthy's novel), the film clocked up a very respectable quartet of statuettes Photograph: Mark J Terrill/AP
