And the winners were...

It was another star-studded event in Hollywood at the 94th Academy Awards.

Sir Kenneth Branagh and Riz Ahmed were the most highprofile winners from the UK , on a night that saw British talent miss out on the biggest awards but enjoy a strong showing in the technical categories.

Sir Kenneth has notched up eight Oscar nominations over four decades of acting, writing and directing, spanning seven different award categories, itself a record, but until this year had always come away empty-handed. His win for best original screenplay, for the film Belfast comes 40 years after he made his screen acting debut on the BBC in 1982. The Oscar for best short film went to The Long Goodbye, which was released alongside the album of the same name by British actor and musician Riz

Ahmed. Ahmed stars in the film and also co-wrote the script, which is set in the near-future and depicts a south Asian family being terrorised by an allwhite militia force.
