‘Tired and teary’ stars enjoy the Oscars' party

The curtains fell on the Oscars, but Hollywood was not done celebrating its biggest night as the film industry took Academy Award winners and their statuettes out for an extended spin through glamorous after-parties.

As the Oscars ceremony wrapped up with Birdman winning the best picture prize, stars piled into the Governor’s Ball, the official after-party hosted by Oscars organisers, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.

“I’m feeling tired and exhilarated and relieved and excited and hungry,” said Whiplash winner JK Simmons as he entered the party with his best supporting actor Oscar in hand.
