    You've probably already seen who won what at this year's Oscars, but some of the moments we can't stop obsessing over from this year's event weren't always related to the nominees.

    Enter our alternative unnoficial awards, where we recognise some of the unsung heroes of the night.

    From the stinking cute to the downright awkward, we've compiled a list of our very own categories and winners from The Oscars 2024...

    It was a hard-fought category thanks to entries from Margot Robbie and Tom Ackerley, and Jodie Foster and Alexandra Hedison, but this matching ensemble from actress of the moment Emily Blunt and husband John Krasinski pipped the other contenders to the post.

    If you haven't heard about host Jimmy Kemmel's awkward exchange with Robert Downey Jr, then you might just find your toes wanting to curl.

    Drumroll please...and the winners are Emma Stone and Colman Domingo! Her dress might have broken as she took to the stage, but Emma styled it out to perfection. Special mentions must go to Danielle Brooks and Carey Mulligan however for their stunning gowns.

    The memes might have already been doing the rounds, but we couldn't not give a shout out to Bradley Cooper who lost out to Cillian Murphy in the best actor category, making his losses at the awards head into double digits.

    ๐Ÿ† Best Winner's Speech ๐Ÿ†

    Giving us all the heart we want from our Oscar winner speeches, this award could go to no other than Da'Vine Joy Randolph. Her winning performance was described by Lupita Nyong'o asย โ€œa tribute to those who have helped others heal in spite of their own pain.โ€

    ๐Ÿ† Most Unexpected Plot Twist ๐Ÿ†

    John Cena's reenactment of a streaker disrupting David Niven and Elizabeth Taylor was the storyline none of us expected in 2024.

    ๐Ÿ† Actor Who Was Robbed ๐Ÿ†

    Clapping dog `Messi might have been overlooked for his starring role in Anatomy of a Fall, but we can just see how well-respected he is by his peers in this video. Quite right too.

    This award is reserved for the glowing Vanessa Hudgens and her baby bump, clearly.

    Liza Koshy's fall was styled out with humour and grace, but the best supporting role goes to the people who dashed in to help her up and re-arrange her dreamy dress. Goals!
