Standing ovations, party plans and media bingo: Inside the Oscars winners' room

After Oscar winners collect their golden statuettes on stage at the Dolby Theatre, they are brought into rooms outside to have their photos taken and answer questions from journalists.

For this year's Academy Awards, this was my spot - a front-row seat to the stars everyone is talking about. The room holds several hundred reporters and there's an Oscar-worthy buffet in the hallway outside to keep us going all day.

All the journalists are hoping to be selected to ask a question. Each winner is limited to answering about three to four and you show interest by holding up numbered cards.

It's then up to a moderator to select which reporters get to ask away. But it's not just about questions.

It's about witnessing those little moments behind the scenes, the things you don't get to see on TV. There's a buzz in the room that builds and builds as the big winners come in towards the end, with one star in particular eliciting a lot of love from the journalists.

Here are the best moments. Jessie Buckley's party plans After making history as the first Irish woman to collect the best actress Oscar, Jessie Buckley was asked what her message is to all her supporters back in Ireland who stayed up overnight to watch her win.

"Don't go to bed, keep partying!" she replied. "That's what I'm going to do." After winning not just the Oscar, but also the BAFTA, Golden Globe, Critics Choice and Actor Award before it, you would expect nothing less.

"I'm so grateful for the support, and I feel the love. Man, I feel it.

"I feel it from young people and old people, from women and men, and from my family," Buckley said, adding that she had relatives from New Zealand and Australia as well as Ireland who had flown to LA for the ceremony. "That makes it real," she said.

"They're the people who built me. "To share this moment with them and know that back home they are either drunk or staying up - I'm delighted for us all." Standing ovation for Michael B Jordan Buckley got a big cheer, but Michael B Jordan's is even bigger.

It takes about 40 seconds for the applause to die down after Jordan is announced as the next winner to be coming into the room. All the journalists are on their feet as he walks in with his Oscar.

Winning the award feels "timely.
