Revealed - Unexpected winner of best actress, Olivia Colman hinted that her award will be sleeping beside her, an award which had been widely expected to go to Glenn Close.

"This is hilarious, I';ve got an Oscar," Colman said through tears and genuine surprise, reflecting the reaction of the audience.

"I could not tell you what I';m feeling. I don';t know what to do with myself at the moment," Colman added backstage.

How much of her acceptance speech was prepared?

"None of it," replied Colman - an entirely believable answer, especially as it turned out she forgot to mention two of her fellow nominees.

"I';ve just been told I completely forgot Melissa [McCarthy] and Yalitza [Aparicio], but it';s not an everyday occurrence, so I don';t know how anyone is composed and remembers everything."

Asked where she will keep her Oscar, Colman replied: "In bed with me. Between me and my husband. He doesn';t know yet. He won';t mind."
