Some of the best images from the 88th Oscar ceremony make it into today’s selection of images from around the world, along with a Donald Trump pinata. Here are today’s pictures from around the world:

The star was first nominated for an Oscar 23 years ago in a supporting role, and has since been nominated four more times for acting, including this year, but had never won until now.
