OSCARS 2015: Eddie Redmayne too choked to speak as he takes best actor Oscar for Hawking biopic while Birdman flies off with four statues - and Julianne Moore wins best actress for Still Alice

It was the night the great and good of the movie industry had been waiting for as the winners of the 87th Annual Academy Awards were announced in Los Angeles on Sunday evening.

Continuing his clean sweep of awards season, emotional Eddie Redmayne was almost too choked to speak as he picked up Best Actor for his portrayal of physicist Stephen Hawking in The Theory of Everything.

'Thank you – I don’t I’m capable of articulating quite how I feel right now but please know this – I am fully aware of that I am lucky, lucky man,’ he began, clutching his trophy.

This Oscar – wow! –this Oscar, this belongs to all of those people around the world, battling ALS,’ he added staring at the statuette in disbelief.
Meanwhile, it might not have swept the board completely, but Birdman still flew home with the Oscar for Best Picture on the night.

The comedy drama swooped off with a total of four awards on Sunday night - a number that tied with The Grand Budapest Hotel - including Best Director and Best Original Screenplay

The 87th annual ceremony favoured niche movies instead of big box office hits, with films including American Sniper and Wild missing out on the top prizes.
However, Birdman's lead actor Michael Keaton was beaten to his Best Actor by Eddie.
