We like Helen Mirren

US mob drama The Departed has won four Oscars, including best film and best director for Martin Scorsese, who had missed out on five previous occasions.

Dame Helen Mirren and Forest Whitaker collected best actress and actor, and there were three Academy Awards for Mexican fairytale Pan's Labyrinth.

Dame Helen had described her Oscar nomination as "amazing"

"All kids love to get gold stars, and this is the biggest and the best gold star that I have ever had," she said.

In the meantime Basic Instinct 2 has swept the Golden Raspberry Awards - the annual ceremony which mocks the worst of Hollywood ahead of the Oscars presentation.

The film picked up four awards - or Razzies - for worst movie, worst actress for Sharon Stone, worst screenplay and also worst sequel.

Perhaps Shazz should try keeping her knees together for her next film
