Jon Stewart introduces Ben Stiller, taking a crowd-pleasing look at the wonders of greenscreen technology, to present the award for best visual effects.
Potential winners: War of the Worlds, Narnia and King Kong.
And the Oscar goes to...Peter Jackson's box office monster King King. Joe Lethri, Brian Van't Hul, Christian Rivers and Richard Taylor come up to accept the statue.
Next presenter taking to the stage is best actress nominee Reese Witherspoon to announce the winner of the award for the year's best animated feature, either going to Howl's Moving Castle, Tim Burton's Corpse Bride or Wallace and Gromit: The Curse of the Were-rabbit, the clay duo being no stranger to awards.
Unsurprisingly, they take this one too. Nick Park and Steve Box accept the gong dressed in matching bow ties - very fetching.
This year's winner, and the other nominees, represent something of a return to traditional routes of animation, rather than the CG-dominant crop of last year, when Pixar's The Incredibles walked away with the honour.
Enter a strutting Dolly Parton to sing Travellin' Through, her song from Transamerica.
