Good Morning Britain's North American correspondent Noel Phillips was awkwardly rejected from entering Sir Elton John's star-studded Oscars party live on air on Monday morning.
Noel was on the champagne-coloured Academy Awards carpet early on Monday morning as he interviewed the stars of the silver screen.
Noel spoke with co-hosts Ed Balls and Susanna Reid live in the studio from the Hollywood event as he was blocked by security from entering the party.
Noel said: "We're going to try and see if we can get into the party. Apparently Emma Watson and Donatella Versace and a few famous people are in there. Let's see if we can gatecrash the party."
As he approached the entrance, the security guard held up his hand and said: "Sir, the party is over. No entry, please."

Noel turned on his heels and said to the GMB camera: "We did try, guys. We did try."
Sitting in the London studio, Susanna then chipped in: "Looks like someone's about to close the curtains behind you there, Noel. What a shame. You did your best."

Noel spoke with the Emily in Paris star about the BBC's impartiality row with Gary Lineker and he simply turned to the camera and said: “F*** the Tories,” which was bleeped out in the ITV pre-recorded clip and appeared to flip the camera the finger as his hand was blurred.
Correspondent Noel Phillips told hosts Ed Balls and Susanna Reid in the studio: “The Oscars might have been a slightly quieter affair with no punches thrown, but it was still a historic night.”

“Nonetheless it was an historic night. We saw Everything Everywhere All At Once winning seven of its 11 nominations.
“Here on the red carpet, one storyline which got a lot of guests talking about as they walked down this champagne-coloured carpet was the row between the BBC and Gary Lineker.”
