We’re bringing you every teary speech, every burning zinger and every shocked “did I seriously just win an Oscar” face – as it happens from the 89th Annual Academy Awards.
Breaking with tradition, Justin Timberlake opened the night with a musical act. JT had the entire audience on their feet with a live performance of Can’t Stop The Feeling, even Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban couldn’t help but bust out some daggy dance moves.
First-time host Jimmy Kimmel started the night with a hilarious monologue and as expected, he lashed out at his frenemies Matt Damon and President Donald Trump.
“I want to say thank you to President Trump, remember last year when it seemed like the Oscars were racist,” Jimmy quipped.
He also went on to roast his pal Matt Damon over giving up the “Oscar-calibre” starring role in Manchester By The Sea – which he produced – and starring in the controversial epic The Great Wall.

Flashback! Both lads were in their mid-twenties and overwhelmed by the 1997 win. “I just said to Matt, losing would suck and winning would be really scary. It’s really, really scary… Whoever we forgot we love you! And thank you so much to the city of Boston,” Ben said at the time.
