The Associated Press reported that the unusual new "sienna, saffron" shade had been chosen because it "evokes the sunset".

As usual, the ceremony took place at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood and this year was hosted by comedian Jimmy Kimmel.

Everything Everywhere All At Once, starring Michelle Yeoh, was the big winner on the night, taking home seven awards in total including Best Picture. Yeoh also won Best Actress, becoming the first person from an Asian background to be named best actress.
