Spanish actress Penelope Cruz became the first winner of the night, picking up the best supporting actress award.

Cruz faced some stiff competition from Marisa Tomei in The Wrestler

The 34-year-old star won her first Oscar for her performance as a passionate artist in Woody Allen's Vicky Cristina Barcelona.

"Has anybody ever fainted here. I might be the first one," said Cruz, who was previously nominated in 2007.

Cruz, who becomes the first Spanish actress to win an acting Oscar, dedicated her award "to all the actors from my country".

"Thank you Woody for trusting me with this beautiful character," she said.
