BRAD PITT BEATS OUT PACINO, PESCI, HANKS AND HOPKINS
In his speech, Brad said that Maddox, Pax, Zahara, Shiloh, Vivienne and Knox "color everything I do."
He then added: "I adore you."
The 56-year-old actor also said that he would "ride on [DiCaprio's] coattails any day."
Brad also got a little political to kick off his speech, and made a reference to the recent impeachment hearings
"They told me I only had 45 seconds which is 45 seconds more than the Senate gave John Bolton this week," said Brad after accepting the award from Regina King.
"I'm thinking maybe Quentin does a movie about it. In the end the adults do the right thing."
He then sang Quentin's praises, saying: "This really is about Quentin Jerome Tarantino. You are original, you are one of a kind.
"The film industry would be a much drier place without you and I love the ethos you gave Cliff Booth. Look for the best in people, expect the worst but look for the best.@
He then went on to say: "Leo, I’ll ride on your coattails any day, man. The view’s fantastic."
Brad used his time on stage to thank some of the people who gave him his start in the industry as well.
"I’m a bit gobsmacked. I’m not one to look back but this has made me do so and I think of my folks taking me to the drive-in to see Butch and [the] Sundance [kid], and loading up my car and moving out here, and Geena [Davis] and Ridley [Scott] giving me my first shot [on Thelma and Louise] to all the wonderful people I’ve met along way.
"To stand here now: 'Once upon a time…in Hollywood.' Ain’t that the truth."

LAURA DERN WINS FIRST OSCAR FOR A MARRIAGE STORY
Laura Dern followed Brad's lead when she won Best Supporting Actress for her work in A Marriage Story by thanking her children and stepchildren.
The actress, who was previously nominated for her work in Rambling Rose and Wild, also thanked her parents
"Noah [Baumbach] wrote a movie about love and about breaching divisions in the name and in the honor of family and home, and hopefully for all of us, in the name of our planet," said Dern.
"And I would like to say a special thank you to the gifts of the love stories in my life: my stepchildren, C.J. and Harris, my heart and inspiration, Ellery and Jaya."
She then went on to say: "And you know, some say never meet your heroes, but I say, if you’re really blessed, you get them as your parents. I share this with my acting heroes, my legends, [three-time Oscar nominee] Diane Ladd and [two-time Oscar nominee] Bruce Dern.
"You got game. I love you. Thank you all for this gift; this is the best birthday present ever. I love you. I love my friends. You lift me up every day. Thank you."

BEAUTIFUL DAY IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD
The awards kicked off with a lengthy performance by Janelle Monae singing an updated rendition of her 2010 song Come Alive.
Janelle walked out on stage to open the show dressed like Mister Rogers in a red cardigan.
She also addressed the lack of diversity among this year's nominees and the absence of female nominees in the Best Director category.
“We celebrate all the women who directed phenomenal films,” said Janelle at one point.
She later added “and I’m so proud to stand here as a black queer artist, telling stories. Happy Black History Month.”
Steve Martin and Chris Rock followed Janelle.
Chris joked that while watching Janelle backstage, Steve said: "J.Lo’s killing in two weeks in a row.”

OBASCARS
Other early winners included the Obama-backed documentary American Factory and Parasite for Best Original Screenplay.
The Obamas later congratulated the winners on Twitter, with Barack writing: "Congrats to Julia and Steven, the filmmakers behind American Factory, for telling such a complex, moving story about the very human consequences of wrenching economic change. Glad to see two talented and downright good people take home the Oscar for Higher Ground’s first release."
The win for Parasite was a historic one, the first of what could be many for Bong Joon Ho's beloved film.
"Writing a script is always such a lonely process; we never write to represent our countries. But this is very first Oscar to South Korea. Thank you,' said Ho, who co-wrote the film.
"I thank my wife for always being an inspiration to me. I thank all the actors who are here with me today for bringing this film to life. Thank you. director Thank you, great honor."
It was another international win in the category of Best Adapted Screenplay, where Taika Waiti won for his work bringing Jojo Rabbit to the big screen.
Much like his film, Taika delivered a speech that was at times touching and humorous.
"I’d like to thank my mother. Don’t know where you are, Mom. I lost you, hours ago," he said at the top of his remarks.
"Thank you for being my mother, and for, I mean, for many other reasons. For giving me the book that I adapted, and this film wouldn’t have existed without you doing that."
He went on to thanks the author of the book, the film's producers and@many others@ he could not remember.
Taika closed out by stating: "I dedicate this to all the indigenous kids who live in the world who want to do art and dance and write stories. We are the original storytellers and we can make it here as well. Thank you. Kia Mihi."

BETTER LATE THEN NEVER
Eminem made a surprise appearance on Sunday night's show, performing his Oscar-winning song Lose Yourself.
The rapper did not appear at the ceremony the year he won his Oscar, something he acknowledged on Twitter after he performed on the telecast.
"Look, if you had another shot, another opportunity... Thanks for having me @TheAcademy. Sorry it took me 18 years to get here," said Eminem.
Elton John meanwhile won his first Oscar in 25 years for his song I'm Gonna Love Me Again, which was featured in the biopic Rocketman.
