		</div><p>The Salesman, directed by Iranian film-maker Asghar Farhadi, who is boycotting the ceremony because of Donald Trump’s travel ban, has won the foreign language film Oscar.</p>
<p>His award was collected by Anousheh Ansari, the first Iranian woman to go to space who read a statement on his behalf.</p>
<p>In the message, Asghar, whose film A Separation won the same prize in 2012, said it was a “great honour” to receive the prize for a second time.</p>
<p>“I’m sorry I’m not with you tonight, my absence is out of respect for the people of my country and the other six nations who have been banned.”</p>
<p>He continued: “Dividing the world into the us and the enemy categories creates fear, justification for war.”</p>
<p>The statement said film-makers could turn their cameras to create empathy, saying it is “an empathy we need today more than ever.”</p>
