The 85th Academy Awards are taking place in Hollywood where Steven Spielberg's Lincoln is going to head-to-head with Ben Affleck's Argo for best picture.
Christoph Waltz won the first award at the Dolby Theatre for his role in Django Unchained.
In a choked voice, Waltz offered thanks to his character and "to his creator and the creator of his awe-inspiring world, Quentin Tarantino".
It is the second time in three years he has won the category - his first Oscar was for his role in Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds.
Waltz beat off stiff competition from Alan Arkin, Robert De Niro, Philip Seymour Hoffman and Tommy Lee Jones.
Brave, the story of a rebellious, red-headed princess, won the Oscar for best animated feature.
Amour, the French-language film about an elderly couple won best foreign language film. One of its stars Emmanuelle Riva, 86, is the oldest woman to ever be nominated for best actress.
Shirley Bassey wowed the audience in the theatre And there was a strong start for British talent with Jacqueline Durran winning for her costume design on Anna Karenina and the makeup and hairstyling award went to Lisa Westcott and Julie Dartnell for Les Miserables.
Other British hopes largely lie with Daniel Day-Lewis who is hot favourite to complete an historic hat-trick.
The actor is nominated for best actor for his performance in US historical drama Lincoln - his fifth nomination in the category which he has already won twice - in 1989 for My Left Foot and in 2007 for There Will be Blood.
Halle Berry - a one-time Bond girl - introduced a tribute to the Bond films and music made up of classic clips of 007's adventures. And 76-year-old Dame Shirley Bassey took to the stage to sing Goldfinger which received a standing ovation.
Spielberg's presidential drama has the most nominations this year, with 12, but Iran hostage crisis drama Argo is bidding to win the coveted best picture statuette after taking a string of pre-Oscar award show prizes.
This year's ceremony is being hosted by Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane who started the show with a joke about Affleck, who was nominated for best film but failed to win a best director nomination, quipping that he was "unknown to the Academy".
William Shatner made a guest appearance as his Star Trek character Captain James Kirk, appearing on a giant screen above the stage during MacFarlane's monologue, saying he came back in time to stop the host from ruining the Oscars.
Earlier scores of A-list celebrities posed on the red carpet in front of the world's cameras as the biggest night of the film industry's calendar got under way.
Adele, who is nominated for her Bond theme Skyfall, posed for photographers along with stars including best actress nominee Jessica Chastain, Les Miserables star Eddie Redmayne and Charlize Theron.
