This highlight is dedicated to anyone who spends the day trying to avoid Oscar news so they watch this highlights show without learning the major results.
As anyone who’s ever sat through the entire show live – some of our lot watch it every year to keep you lot informed – it’s quite a long one. When the highlights are two hours long etc.
Here are the best moments from last night's 96th Academy Awards ceremony, hosted by Jimmy Kimmel at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood.
Oppenheimer led the nominations, with director Christopher Nolan (above, left) and stars Cillian Murphy (above, right) and Robert Downey Jnr up for plaudits.
We all know what happened, but let's pretend we don't, eh?

Accused: The Hampstead Paedophile Hoax, 9.00pm, Channel 4
Here’s a documentary telling the story of four mothers in north London who were falsely accused of being part of a Satanic cult operating out of their children's primary school.
The allegations plagued the lives of the accused, setting off an eight-year battle for justice during which screaming demonstrators chased a priest through Hampstead.
There was also a US conspiracy theorist flew to London to visit the school, and lengthy legal battles ended with a 74-year-old German pensioner receiving a record sentence for online trolling and harassment.
As the old Doors’ song goes, people are strange.
