Mark Rylance beats him to take Best Supporting Actor for Bridge Of Spies at the Academy Awards

Newcomer Alicia Vikander won Best Supporting Actress for The Danish Girl at the 88th annual Academy Awards on Sunday night.

She beat out the likes of Kate Winslet to take the gong for her role in the historical true story about a transgender woman (played by Eddie Redmayne) and his supportive wife (Vikander).

The 27-year-old took the stage and breathlessly delivered a heartfelt speech: 'Thank you so much to the Academy for this recognition. And Eddie - where are you? - there you are! Thank you for being the best acting partner. You raised my game!'

She then added: 'And my mum and dad - thank you for giving me the belief that anything can happen. Even though I would never have believed this!' 

Newcomer! Alicia Vikander wins Best Supporting Actress for The Danish Girl at the 88th annual Academy Awards on Sunday night

The Swedish born actress beat out previous winner Kate Winslet (Steve Jobs), Jennifer Jason Leigh (The Hateful Eight), Rooney Mara (Carol), and Rachel McAdams (Spotlight).

Celebs gathered at the Dolby Theater to toast another year in movies as they were honoured by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. 

Chris Rock opened the ceremony with a rollicking monologue.

The show kicked off with a montage of the films from 2015 and the 51-year-old comedian referenced the clip as he took the stage.

'Man I counted at least 15 black people in that montage. I am here hosting at the Academy Awards otherwise known as the White People’s Choice Awards. If they nominated hosts I wouldn’t be your host. It’d be Neil Patrick Harris. People be like, "Chris you should boycott. You should quit." Only people without jobs say to quit something. And the last thing I need is to love another job to Kevin Hart. Porno stars don’t make movies that fast!'

'The big question is why are we protesting this year's Oscars?' Rock continued. 'It is the 88th Academy Awards.... At least 71  of them didn't have black actors nominated in the past.'

'Black people didn’t protest because we had real things to protest. Too busy being raped and lynched to worry about who won best cinematography. When your grandma’s hangin from a tree...'

He then went on to poke fun at Jada Pinkett who had said she was boycotting the Oscars ahead of the ceremony on Sunday: 'Jada boycotting the Oscars is like me boycotting Rihanna’s panties! I wasn’t invited.'

He concluded: 'Is Hollywood racist? You're damn right it's racist! Hollywood is sorority racist. It's like: "We like you Wanda, but you're not a Kappa."'

Later in the show the comedian had his daughters come on the stage to sell Girl Scout Cookies. He called out some celebs to put there money on the line as he said, 'C;mon, Leo you made $30 million!'

But he gave one actor some trouble for buying the cookies: 'Oh Lou Gossett watch out now! You got diabetes!'

Later in the show Rock shared a video of asking people on the street in Compton, California. Interviewees had never heard of the nominees for Best Picture but all of them had seen Straight Outta Compton.

Best original screenplay went to the newsroom drama 'Spotlight,' an ode to hard-nose, methodical investigative journalism penned by Tom McCarthy and Josh Singer. Backstage, a cord from a light suddenly fell behind the winners, prompting McCarthy - whose film shows the discovery of extensive sex abuse by Catholic priests - to exclaim in mock paranoia: 'That is the power of the Catholic Church, ladies and gentlemen!'

Adam McKay and Charles Randolph took best adapted screenplay for their self-described 'trauma-dy' about the mortgage meltdown of 2008. McKay thanked Paramount Pictures for taking a risk on a movie about 'financial esoterica.'

McKay, best known for broader comedies like Anchorman and Step Brothers, gave an election-year warning to power of 'big money' in the presidential campaign and government.

'Big money is taking over our government,' said McKay backstage.

Up for Best Actress were some bright new stars and some awards show favorites. Cate Blanchett (Carol) and Jennifer Lawrence (Joy) led the nominees which included, Brie Larson (Room), Charlotte Rampling (45 Years), and Saoirse Ronan (Brooklyn). 

JLaw won Best Actress at the Oscars in 2013 for Silver Linings Playbook. This year she earned her fourth nomination for Joy, another film directed by David O. Russell. She has previously been nominated at the Oscars for American Hustle and Winter's Bone.

The Best Actor nominees included Bryan Cranston (Trumbo), Matt Damon (The Martian), Leonardo DiCaprio (The Revenant), Michael Fassbender (Steve Jobs), and Eddie Redmayne (The Danish Girl).

However, DiCaprio's turn as a frontiersman was the clear favorite going into the Oscars, after the star sweeped the other big awards shows earlier this year. 

Oscar gold has previously eluded the celebrated star, who has won plenty of other honours over his two decade long career.

It's the first time Stallone has been in Oscar contention since 1977 when Rocky, which he starred in, wrote and produced, was nominated for 10 statuettes and won three, including Best Picture and Best Director for John G. Avildsen.

Sly missed out on the Best Actor and Screenplay honours, which appears to be making this round of honours doubly sweet. 

In the film, Sylvester plays an ageing Rocky, who comes out of retirement to train promising young boxer Adonis Johnson, played by Michael B. Jordan, who is the son of his former rival, Apollo Creed.

The evening was hosted by Rock, who previously emceed the awards show in 2005 and managed to anger some Oscar officials at the time with his controversial comments.

Now the comedian is under the spotlight once again as he hosts for the second time amid controversy over the lack of diversity among nominees for the second year in a row.

Spike Lee, Will Smith, and Jada Pinkett Smith spoke out when all the nominees in this year's best acting categories were revealed to be white. The three boycotted the event.

Their decisions have sparked a wider debate about diversity in Hollywood, and several actors have come under fire for their comments.

Charlotte Rampling, who is nominated for Best Actress for her work in 45 Years, said their complaints were 'anti-white racism.'

She said: ‘Maybe the black actors don’t deserve to be on the final stretch? One can never really know but perhaps the black actors did not deserve to make the final list.’  

Julie Delpy, who wrote and directed  2 Days in New York, starred alongside Chris Rock in the 2012 romantic comedy.

She was criticized for saying: 'Two years ago, I said something about the Academy being very white male, which is the reality, and I was slashed to pieces by the media.

'It’s funny - women can’t talk. I sometimes wish I were African American because people don’t bash them afterward.'

She went on to say: 'It’s the hardest to be a woman. Feminism is something people hate above all. Nothing worse than being a woman in this business. I really believe that.'

She has since apologized for her remarks and clarified that she didn't mean to 'diminish the injustice done to African American artists'. 

Hollywood names such as Danny DeVito, William H. Macy, Reese Witherspoon, and Mark Ruffalo have also chimed in since the nominations were revealed on January 14.

Since then, Academy President Cheryl Boone Isaacs announced a plan to diversify the membership moving forward.

He said: 'The Academy is going to lead and not wait for the industry to catch up.

'These new measures regarding governance and voting will have an immediate impact and begin the process of significantly changing our membership composition.'

In a statement, the Academy said that the 'goal is to commit to doubling the number of women and diverse members of the Academy by 2020.'

The plan will invite a diverse pool of members to join and end the memberships of any individuals who have not been active in the industry for over a period of 10 years.

Meanwhile, a good awards speech can echo through the generations but a bad one can mar an entire broadcast. 

The Academy Awards decided to create some new rules as this year they no longer allowed winners to name those they felt indebted to during their speeches.

Instead, the Oscars rolled a screen ticker behind the honoree naming each person they wanted to thank. 

In addition, speeches were cut down to just 45 seconds, in an effort to keep the running time of the ceremony within an acceptable domain, as the show has famously gone overtime. 

For a show that has been plagued with often self-indulgent oratory performances, it is actors and showbusiness people after all, the new rule set was intended to ensure a smoother running broadcast that has often been criticized for being boring.

Meanwhile, Lady Gaga's night at the Oscars was marred by claims she did not deserve her nomination. 

Rocker Linda Perry claimed last month that 29-year-old Gaga only wrote one line of her hit, Til It Happens To You and in fact, songwriter Diane Warren should be given merit.

Perry later apologized for the Twitter outburst and said she wanted 'the focus to remain on the great importance of the song and the message of the film.' 

The track was nominated for Best Original Song.

Lady Gaga produced and performed the haunting track, which she is said to have co-wrote with Diane, for the soundtrack of documentary film The Hunting Ground which tackles issues surrounding campus rapes in American educational institutions.
