Mahershala Ali has won the Oscar for best supporting actor for his role as Don Shirley in Green Book in the 91st Academy Awards.
Ali was the strong favourite for the prize, having won all the major best supporting actor awards this year, including the Bafta, Golden Globe and Screen Actors Guild awards.
Despite winning a number of influential awards, including the audience award at the Toronto film festival, Green Book has drawn considerable criticism.
This is Ali’s second Oscar win, after he took the award in the same category in 2017 for Moonlight, becoming the first Muslim actor to win an Oscar.
