Kenneth Branagh brings the Oscar home for Belfast on a night of high drama

Belfast writer-director Kenneth Branagh won the Best Original Screenplay Oscar at the Academy Awards on Sunday night, saluting his hometown and "the fabulous Island of Ireland" in his acceptance speech.

Branagh's win was one of the heart-warming highlights of a ceremony that was later rocked by an onstage incident involving Best Actor winner Will Smith and award presenter Chris Rock.

Collecting the award for Best Original Screenplay, Branagh said: "This is an enormous honour for my family and a great tribute to an amazing city and fantastic people."
