Handbags quite literally met gladrags last night as Hollywood descended upon the Dolby Theatre for this year's Oscars - and it's not just because of THAT punch from Will Smith. Having pulled the all-nighter, Jack's here to break down what happened at a very, well, eventful ceremony.  #BringingCinemaCloser #Oscars
