Allen wins original-screenplay Oscar


Angelina Jolie has presented the award for adapted screenplay to the George Clooney film, 'The Descendants'.

The award for original screenplay went to Woody Allen for 'Midnight in Paris' - his tribute to the French capital in the 1920s when it was home to expat-American writers including F Scott Fitzgerald and Ernest Hemingway.

The veteran star famously rarely attends the Oscars so Jolie accepted it on behalf of the academy.

The award for original score was presented by Penelope Cruz and Owen Wilson to Ludovic Bource for The Artist.

Will Ferrell and Zach Galifianakis presented the award for original song to Flight of the Conchords star Bret McKenzie for his song Man or Muppet from the latest Muppets film.

He thanked his parents for “never telling me to get a real job”.
