Oscars take over Los Angeles

The 83rd Academy Awards are under way in Los Angeles - if you include the red carpet arrivals that is.

Already major nominees such as True Grit's Hailee Steinfeld and The Kids Are All Right's Mark Ruffalo have arrived, ahead of the ceremony which begins at 2.30pm NZ time.

You can watch a live stream of the red carpet arrivals here, view the photo gallery here, or browse our Academy Awards section here.

We'll be updating the section all day with results from the Kodak Theatre.
