Actress Rachel Weisz and animated heroes Wallace and Gromit were among the big UK winners at the 2006 Oscars.
Weisz, 34, won the best supporting actress Oscar for her role in UK thriller The Constant Gardener.
Nick Park earned his fourth Oscar for his feature film outing for Wallace and Gromit: Curse of the Were-Rabbit.
But there was no Oscar glory for best actress nominees Dame Judi Dench and Keira Knightley, who lost out to Walk the Line's Reese Witherspoon.
