Oscars photos: See reunions, props and more candid moments from the red carpet
Stars had fun on their way into the Oscars.
Best supporting actress nominee Ariana Grande, dressed in a baby pink gown with a tulle skirt, and Elle Fanning, in lacy white, held hands and laughed as they arrived.
The fashion moments were plenty and wide-ranging: Timothée Chalamet, nominated for best actor, walked in a butter yellow suit, holding the hand of his mother, Nicole Fender, as they approached the Dolby Theatre. Andrew Garfield opted for a chocolate brown suit. Michelle Yeoh's royal blue gown cascaded down the stairs.
Grande and Yeoh's 'Wicked' castmate Bowen Yang and his 'Las Culturistas' podcast co-host Matt Rogers were all smiles, posing with lucky fans who secured seats in bleachers through lotteries. Dressed in florals, Jeff Goldblum — the Wizard of Oz himself — and his wife Emilie Livingston stopped to pose with U.S. Army members there to celebrate their 250th anniversary.
It wasn't just human stars making their way through the sea of celebrities and photographers on the carpet: Filmmakers Nick Park, Richard Beek and Merlin Crossingham carried the Claymation stars of 'Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl,' nominated for best animated feature. Animation director Nicolas Keppens wore a figurine of the character Bart from his nominated short 'Beautiful Men' in a pink baby carrier on his chest.
Slava Leontyev, co-director of 'Porcelain War,' held Frodo, the yorkie featured in the documentary.
Diane Warren, nominated for her 16th Oscar for her song 'The Journey' from 'The Six Triple Eight' wore a jacket adorned with glittery music notes. She lifted up her collar to reveal a phrase printed on the inside: 'Make it (expletive) Happen.' (Spoiler: it didn't. El Mal' from 'Emilia Pérez' won the best original song Oscar.)

Credit: ITV 4 A whopping 30 people were knocked out Credit: ITV 4 Lee Mack hosts the popular ITV quiz Credit: ITV Contestants hope to reach the end and win up to £100,000 prize money. However, one question saw an incredible 30 people eliminated in one fell swoop. Presenter Lee asked: "Have a look at this picture. Are there more happy faces or sad faces?" The players were then shown 18 emoji faces arranged in three rows of six. Once the time limit was up, Lee revealed 30 people had answered incorrectly and were therefore out. The right answer turned out to be "happy" - as there were 10 happy faces and eight sad ones. With his trademark quick wit, Lee quipped: "Well, there's 30 sad ones now!" It's not the first time a single question on The 1% Club caught out several people. In a different episode, a savage limerick question took out 14 contestants, The poetic puzzle asked: "Jamil is writing a limerick but needs a word that follows these rules to complete the last line... The 1% Club players stumped on tricky maths question as 13 players pass - but could you have got it right- "Two syllables, only two different vowels, starts with an even -numbered letter and contains at least three letters from the second half of the alphabet. Which of these words would work?" The options were: Doggie, Blades, Hotel, Prizes and Rabbit. The remaining players faces looked puzzled as they tried to figure out the answer within the 30 seconds. Lee then revealed the right answer was Prizes - after 14 people had been knocked out. The episode also saw an 'easy' common sense riddle knock out 23 people earlier on in the show. Hardest Quiz Show Questions Would you know the answers to some of quizzing TV's hardest questions Who Wants To Be A Millionaire - Earlier this year, fans were left outraged after what they described as the "worst" question in the show's history.

The multiple choice answers were between G, K, M and W. In the end, and with the £32,000 safe, player Glen had to make a guess and went for G. It turned out to be correct as Nicole Kidman, Frances McDormand and Kate Winslet are among the stars who have won the Best Actress gong since 2000. - Earlier this year, fans were left outraged after what they described as the "worst" question in the show's history.

The query went as follows: "Edna's birthday is on the 6th of April and Jen's birthday falls on the 15th of October, therefore Amir's birthday must be the 'X' of January." It turns out the conundrum links the numbers with its position in the sentence, so 6th is the sixth word and 15th is the fifteenth word. Therefore, Amir's birthday is January 24th, corresponding to the 24th word in the sentence. - Viewers of Lee Mack's popular ITV show were left dumbfounded by a question that also left the players perplexed.

The Chase - The ITV daytime favourite left fans scratching their heads when it threw up one of the most bizarre questions to ever grace the programme. One of the questions asked the player: "Someone with a nightshade intolerance should avoid eating what?" The options were - sweetcorn, potatoes, carrots - with Steve selecting sweetcorn but the correct answer was potatoes. Lee said: "John writes with his right hand and the last word he'd right if he was writing this sentence would be be. "If Keith writes with his left hand, what would be the last word he would write in the sentence above?" The answer was the word 'be', as a different writing hand would not change the last word, something which many viewers playing along got correct. The 1% Club airs on ITV1 and ITVX.

WWII film that 'blows Dunkirk out of the water' is leaving Netflix soon
This powerful hit drama is leaving Netflix later this month Joe Wright's cinematic masterpiece Atonement, starring Keira Knightley and James McAvoy, has made an indelible impact with its seven Oscar nominations and a box office return that quadrupled its budget. Set against the backdrop of World War 2, Atonement is a riveting tale that unfolds over one sultry day in 1935, with consequences rippling through the decades. The film boasts an epic five-minute continuous shot featuring 1,000 extras that captures the Dunkirk evacuation chaos from McAvoy's perspective. For those intrigued, time is ticking to watch this war drama on Netflix, as it departs the service on 16th June. The film enjoys an impressive 83% 'fresh' rating on Rotten Tomatoes, where the critical consensus reads: "Atonement features strong performances, brilliant cinematography, and a unique score. Featuring deft performances from James MacAvoy and Keira Knightley, it's a successful adaptation of Ian McEwan's novel." Atonement clinched the Best Film accolade at the BAFTAs, took home the Best Original Score at the Oscars, and earned Saoirse Ronan an Oscar nod for Best Supporting Actress at just 13 years old, reports the Express. Launching both the 2007 Venice and Vancouver Film Festivals, the film also marked Wright as the youngest director ever to open the former at only 35. Critic Andrew Collins gave the film a glowing five-star review in Radio Times, declaring: "Atonement transcends the expectations of its country-house setting, via the privations of war, to deliver a knockout twist that works better on the screen than it did on the page." Bruce Newman, another film critic, praised the first part of the movie, stating: "In its first 45 minutes, Atonement achieves a kind of perfection rare even for big Oscar-bait movies," but he added a note of caution: "Every facet of the filmmaking is the equal of any picture released this year. The rest of the movie isn't so bad." The film has stirred up quite the conversation among fans, with one standout review on Letterboxd proclaiming: "13 years old saoirse ronan was robbed of that oscar for her performance as THE DEVIL." On Google, a fervent admirer of the film compared it to Dunkirk (2017), expressing: "I deeply appreciate Atonement for other reasons and while the films are about 10 years apart I am utterly perplexed by how Nolan's Dunkirk became the critical darling it is, especially since this film exists. Get Netflix free with Sky This article contains affiliate links, we will receive a commission on any sales we generate from it. Learn more from £15 Sky Get the deal here Product Description "This film isn't about the evacuation of Dunkirk or WWII (those elements form the background for a fully realized troubled romance and family drama) and YET this film spends about 20 minutes on Dunkirk and it conveys the horror, defeat and dread of it it far sharper and more resonant than Nolan's film does for its entire run time." Another popular opinion on Letterboxd, which attracted over 6,000 likes, succinctly put it: "the five-minute long take on the beach >>>>>>> dunkirk (2017)". Atonement is available to stream on Netflix until Monday, 16th June.

Ariana Grande 'persuaded' Wicked co-star Cynthia Erivo to 'follow her dreams'
Wicked fans have gone wild after the trailer for part two of the musical was released last week, with triple Oscar nominee Cynthia Erivo opening up on her friendship with co-star Ariana Grande Wicked star Cynthia Erivo has revealed how Ariana Grande persuaded her to follow her dreams and become a popstar - unlike her first career choice to become a surgeon. Speaking as the trailer for Wicked: For Good is released, giving fans a taste of what to expect in part two of the musical, Cynthia - who plays green-skinned Wicked Witch of the West Elphaba - will be releasing her second album, I Forgive You on June 27. The triple Oscar nominee, who has won Grammy, Emmy and Tony awards, says of her pal and Wicked co-star Ariana: 'At the very beginning when we were doing rehearsals, that's when I sort of decided that, okay, time to write this album. Coaxed by Ariana because she wouldn't let me get away with it!' Wicked was the box office hit of the winter, surpassing Mamma Mia! and taking over $750 million worldwide - catapulting Cynthia to fame. Singing with Ariana on the chart-topping soundtrack to the film, which shot to number one in the UK album charts, critics praised Cynthia's powerful vocals and emotional acting. Yet the star originally wanted to be a surgeon, not a singer. She says:' I decided I wanted to be a spinal surgeon, randomly. Because I was good at biology and I was starting to get the hang of it. 'I was one of those kids that was good at reading, good at doing all those things and good at class work, but I could also sing. So my left and right brain were sort of like, doing a battle.' But music won the war. 'I started enjoying singing when I was about eleven,' Cynthia tells Nick Grimshaw and Angela Hartnett on the Dish from Waitrose podcast. 'Music was in my household all the time. My mum would sing along to everything and it would end up being a family sing along. 'My sister and I would sing together while we were doing the dishes. I think I was about fourteen and I was like,' oh, I think I wanna do this. And then I changed my mind randomly when I was about sixteen, because there were no performers in my class.' But when she embarked on a musical career, she received advice from high places - with Oprah Winfrey going out of her way to be helpful. Cynthia says: 'I have had advice from Oprah before, which is really nice. 'Right at the very beginning of my career, I was saying yes to absolutely everything. She was the one that was like, 'You should say no sometimes.' ''It's really good to say no. Sometimes you need to leave space for yourself'. So I took that to heart and began to really be discerning about what I said yes to.' Born to Nigerian parents and growing up in Stockwell, south London, Cynthia has now finished filming for the second Wicked movie - which is out in November - apart from a couple of re-shoots, and would like to star in more films. 'I hope I get the chance to do the things that I'm wishing for - more film, more TV, more music. I hope to get to do a little tour. 'In my head I've been dreaming of doing some of the biggest stages in the world.' Already receiving shining reviews, her new album, I Forgive You, which opens with a cover of No More I Love Yous - a tribute to her hero Annie Lennox - it is a mainly original and deeply personal exploration of romantic relationships. 'The good parts of the relationship, bad parts of a relationship, new relationships, letting go, saying goodbye, and forgiving both parties, yourself and, and the other person,' she says. 'And it just sort of wrote itself.'
