    After releasing a series of hilarious spoof videos, we know cheeky twosome Anne Hathaway and James Franco didn’t plan to take their presenting jobs too seriously.

    And from a hilarious opening Inception skit, to a comedy musical number, and record number of costume changes, the pair definitely didn’t disappoint.

    The evening's acceptance speeches proved even A-listers suffer from nerves, with pregnant Natalie Portman giving way to tears, Melissa Leo accidentally turning the airwaves blue, and Colin Firth making a (slightly strange!) joke about having the urge to dance.

    And there was not a wardrobe malfunction or celebrity spat in sight, as organisers worked tirelessly throughout the ceremony to ensure things ran smoothly.
