Quotable quotes from the Oscars:
Best Actress Cate Blanchett - "As random and subjective this award is, it means a great deal in a year of yet again extraordinary performances by women ... those of us in the industry who are still foolishingly clinging to the idea that female films with women at the centre are niche experiences, they are not, audiences want to see them and in fact they earn money. The world is round people."
Double Oscar winner Catherine Martin - "I do have a few words tucked into my bra, it's a very Australian thing to do. It's where you put your tissues."
Best Actor Matthew McConaughey. Someone had to do it. - "First off I want to thank God cause that's who I look up to. He has graced my life with opportunities he has shown me that it's a scientific fact that gratitude reciprocates."
Best Supporting Actor Jared Leto - "To all the dreamers out there in the world watching this tonight in places like Ukraine and Venezula, I want to say we are here and as you struggle to make your dreams happen we are think of you tonight."
Best Supporting Actress Lupita Nyong'o - "It doesn't escape me for one moment that so much joy in my life is thanks to so much pain in someone else's."
Ellen DeGeneres - "We got an email from Twitter and we crashed and broke Twitter. We have made history ... It has most retweets ever."
DeGeneres again, who couldn't resist making mention of Jennifer Lawrence's habit of falling down at awards shows - "If you win tonight, I think we should bring you the Oscar."
