Triumphant Tilda Swinton also gave the Brits plenty to cheer about at the Oscars last night, as she scooped Best Supporting Actress for her role in 'Michael Clayton'. The actress, who has recently stirred up a scandal by revealing she has a toyboy lover, looked star struck as she heard her name announced. It may have taken a while for it to sink in, but once out of her chair, the star didn't waste any time on stage with her quick witted speech.

"I have an American agent who is the spitting image of this. Really truly the same shape head and, it has to be said, the buttocks. And I'm giving this to him because there's no way I would be in America at all ever on a plane, if it wasn't for him."

Earlier on the red carpet, the fiery red head admitted she had never watched the Oscars before, she told E! Entertainment host Ryan Seacrest:

"I've never watched the Oscars in my life. This is the closest I have ever been. I've not seen it on television and I've no idea what happens here. Are there dancing girls? Pole dancing? Mud wrestling at all? Do you need plastic wraps?"
