It's raining standing ovations. This one's for 74-year-old Hollywood veteran Christopher Walken.

Without further ado, he opens the envelope to reveal Best Original Score Oscar recipient -- Alexandre Desplat for his haunting creations in The Shape of Water.

"My mother also turned 90 by the way. She's going to be very happy tonight," smiles Desplat after taking his second Oscar (after The Grand Budapest Hotel) home.

The other important award in the music category --Original Song-- goes to Coco's Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez.

"Not only are we diverse but we're 50-50 for gender representation," asserts Kristen.
