The star-studded gala was a cauldron of emotions and had its fair share of best and worst moments.

However, in order to maintain the general positivity this year’s Oscars have brought for Pakistanis, we have shortlisted six jovial quotes by winners from the six most prominent categories of the night.

When they called my name, I had this feeling that I could feel half of America going, ‘Oh no, not her again. But you know, whatever - Meryl Streep

I want to say hi to my kids. I want to say to my wife that you inspired the movie, you’re the soul of the movie and you’re the positive feeling of the movie - Thomas Langmann

I am the happiest director in the world right now - Michel Hazanavicius

Thank you Academy, for putting me with the hottest guy in the room - Octavia Spencer

Your reports on Oscars missed few words on the best film, The Artist. It is a great film without words. The Artist reminds us, in a world where everyone is screaming to be heard, but not to hear, that silence is what you sometimes need to let your heart sing.
