The 91st Academy Awards have thrown up a couple of surprises in a night that otherwise followed the predictions to a tee.

The early categories saw Black Panther – the first superhero film to be nominated for Best Picture – collect enough technical awards to ensure that the Academy could feel it had been suitably recognised; it won for costume, production design and original score.

The early awards season favourite, A Star is Born, left with only one statuette, but it was probably the one its star Lady Gaga most wanted anyway – Best Original Song, for Shallow, co-written by the British producer Mark Ronson.

Roma, as expected, converted three of its nominations to Oscars – Best Foreign Language Film, Best Cinematography and Best Director for Alfonso Cuarón.

If Beale Street Could Talk‘s Regina King, Green Book‘s Mahershala Ali and Bohemian Rhapsody’s Rami Malek repeated their Golden Globe and SAG Awards success but it was the other acting award where the first shock came; Glenn Close remains the most nominated actress never to have won an Oscar after her role in The Wife, which won her the Golden Globe and the Screen Actors Guild award failed to earn her the top prize, leaving the way open for The Favourite‘s Olivia Colman. “This is hilarious. I’ve got an Oscar,” the stunned British actress – who was first seen in sitcoms such as Peep Show – told the world’s biggest film stars.

The British historical satire went into the night tied with Roma with the most nominations – ten – and left with only Colman’s, but that turned out to be one more than expected on American soil.

An even bigger surprise came ten minutes later when the show came to an end with the announcement of the Best Picture, which had been expected to go to a foreign language film, Roma, for the first time. But Academy voters unusually split the Best Director and Best Picture Oscars, giving the top prize of the night to the heart-warming race-relations comedy-drama, Green Book.

In addition to Best Picture and Best Supporting Actor, Green Book also won Best Original Screenplay for its director Peter Farrelly, co-writing with the real-life son of Viggo Mortensen’s character, while the Best Adapted Screenplay went to Spike Lee for BLACKkKLANSMAN, his first Oscar coming thirty years after his first nomination for writing Do The Right Thing. Reflecting the anti-Trump nature of his film, Lee used his acceptance speech to issue a rallying cry for the Democrats, ahead of next year’s Presidential election.

For many viewers, the show itself was of as much interest as the winners, as the run-up to the event had been plagued by controversy, with U-turns over the Popular Film Oscar and confining a handful of awards to the ad-breaks to save time and the inability to retain a host leading to the first Oscars show in 30 years to proceed without a host.

In the event, the show went ahead fronted only by a string of celebrities presenting each segment, but the opening segment – longer than the others – was presented by the former Golden Globe pairing of Tiny Fey and Amy Poehler, along with fellow comedian Maya Rudolph, whose routine – including “we are not your hosts” and “we won’t be presenting awards during the commercials, but we will be presenting commercials during the awards” amounted to an opening monologue in all but name.
