A star-studded Academy Awards ceremony has put New Zealand film on the map.
New Zealander Mike Hedges is at the ceremony and says everyone's proud of Weta FX.
Avatar: The Way of Water won Best Visual Effects at this year's Oscars.
Hedges has been nominated for best sound.
He says no one was slapped this year, so the biggest scandal is that the red carpet is light yellow.
"The queues to get onto it were shocking and the colour was the only good thing, it didn't clash with any of the dresses."
