All eyes are on Hollywood tonight as the biggest names on the big screen descend on the Kodak Theatre in Los Angeles for the 2016 Academy Awards, hosted by comic Chris Rock.

The Oscars this year see British talent go up against the might of the American A-listers, with The Danish Girl's Eddie Redmayne competing for Best Actor against tonight's hot favourite Leonardo DiCaprio for The Revenant in the Best Actor category.

In the Best Actress category, silver screen titans Cate Blanchett and Jennifer Lawrence are pitted against newcomers such as Brie Larson and Saoirse Ronan.

Meanwhile, the night's biggest prize - Best Picture - will be battled out by movies including The Big Short, The Maritian, The Revenant, Room, Spotlight, Brooklyn, Bridges of Spies and Mad Max: Fury Road.
