We consider the production of W and Z bosons in hadron collisions. We present a selection of numerical results obtained through a fully exclusive calculation up to next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) in QCD perturbation theory. We include the γ--Z interference, finite-width effects, the leptonic decay of the vector bosons and the corresponding spin correlations. The calculation is completely realistic, since it allows us to apply arbitrary kinematical cuts on the final-state leptons and the associated partons, and to compute the corresponding distributions in the form of bin histograms.
