Here's a full list of winners at the Oscars - including Parasite, Brad Pitt and Elton John

Parasite made history becoming the first non-English film to win Best Picture at the 92nd Academy Awards.

The South Korean thriller scooped up four awards in total - Best Director, Best Original Screenplay and Best International Feature - seeing off stiff competition from Sir Sam Mendes' 1917, which received three awards, all in cinematography categories.

Parasite writer and director Bong Joon-ho paid tribute to fellow nominee Martin Scorsese, quoting The Irishman creator and demanding a standing ovation for the veteran filmmaker.

He said: "When I was young and studying cinema, there was a saying that I carved deep into my heart, 'What is the most personal is the most creative'."

He added: "I will drink until next morning."

The other big story of the night was Brad Pitt's first Academy Award win for acting.

Pitt earned the nod for his performance as stunt actor Cliff Booth in Quentin Tarantino's Once Upon A Time In Hollywood and dedicated the award to his children.

In an emotional speech, Pitt took aim at Republican senators, who last week acquitted President Donald Trump, before reflecting on his sprawling career.

He said: "They tell me I have only got 45 seconds, that is 45 seconds more than the Senate gave John Bolton this week.

"I'm thinking maybe Quentin does a movie about it and in the end the adults do the right thing."
