Definitive guide to Oscar winners throughout time - from Leonardo DiCaprio's ... trends now

Oppenheimer swept the Oscars last night as Hollywood's historical epic took seven gongs, while rival Barbie only won one.

Cillian Murphy, of Peaky Blinders fame, clinched Best Actor for his inimitable portrayal of theoretical physicist Robert J Oppenheimer, considered the 'father of the atomic bomb'.

Robert Downey Jr, who played a high-ranking US Government official in the three-hour classic, took home Best Supporting Actor while Christopher Nolan picked up Best Director.

Despite amassing an impressive catalogue of gongs at the 96th annual Academy Awards, Oppenheimer didn't break the record for most Oscars. 

That accolade — eleven wins — is shared between Ben-Hur (1959), Titanic (1997) and The Lords of the Rings: The Return of the King (2003). 

MailOnline has produced a detailed graphic charting the Oscar winners since 2000, showcasing the Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Director and Best Picture winners over the past two dozen ceremonies.

It includes Leonardo DiCaprio's long-awaited first Oscar in 2016 for his performance in The Revenant, and Kate Winslet's only gong for 2008 romantic drama The Reader— she was snubbed for the accolade after playing Rose in Titanic.

The big winners on the night were Christopher Nolan, Cillian Murphy, Emma Stone, Da'Vine Joy Randolph and Robert Downey Jr.

Announcing Oppenheimer to be the Best Picture winner, Al Pacino didn't bother to name all the other nominees.

The 83-year-old Scarface star hit the stage and made an awkward joke about performing Shakespeare before jumping straight to announcing the Best Picture winner.

He said: 'Wow. What — thank you. Oh, my friends. Thank you, thank you. I don't know. Should I do some Shakespeare now? That's in order, right? To be — no, I'm not going to do. Sorry. 

'Well, this is the time for the last award of the evening. And it's my honor to present it.

'Ten wonderful films are nominated, but only one will take the award for best picture. And I have to go to the envelope for that. And I will. Here it comes. And my eyes see Oppenheimer, yes!'

Social media was buzzing with posts about the awkward end to the show as one commented that Pacino's announcement 'couldn't have been more chaotic or confusing.'

Meanwhile, Emma Stone had an embarrassing wardrobe malfunction as the chaos toward the end of the Oscars broadcast took center stage on Hollywood's biggest night.

Stone led Poor Things to an impressive four gongs, including her Best Actress win.
