Following the acceptance speeches, it was up to the Pretty Woman star to close out the live telecast.
‘Well, apparently, that wraps up the 91st Academy Awards,’ she told the audience.
‘I would like to say congratulations to all the nominees, and good night to Bradley Cooper’s mother and my children, and thank you for watching,’ she added.
Cooper had brought along his mother and his girlfriend Irina Shayk to the event and while he was nominated for three Academy Awards for his film A Star Is Born, he failed to take home a prize.
In addition to her win for Erin Brokovich, Roberts has been nominated three other times for an Oscar – for 1989’s Steel Magnolias, 1990’s Pretty Woman and 2013’s August: Osage County.
Her Erin Brokovich co-star Albert Finney, who passed away two weeks ago, was remembered during the In memorian segments of the awards show.
Finney was nominated five times for an Oscar but never won one.
