'Ida', directed by Poland's Pawel Pawlikowski, has won the Oscar in the Best Foreign- language film category.
The Polish drama entry won over Russia's 'Leviathan', Estonia's 'Tangerines', Mauritania's 'Timbuktu' and Argentina's 'Wild Tales'.
The film, set in Poland in 1962 and shot in black and white, features long takes and minimal dialogue in the austere story of a young woman on the verge of taking vows as a Catholic nun.
The 87th Academy Awards are currently being held at Dolby Theatre in London.
