LOS ANGELES: The 94th Academy Awards, which celebrated the biggest films of this year, made headlines for several things from Will Smith and Chris Rock’s altercation and celebrities showing support for Ukraine to Hollywood stars flaunting their style on the red carpet.
The award ceremony returned to Dolby Theatre in Hollywood as the Oscars were held in person completely for the first time since the COVID-19 pandemic began.
The ceremony, which was hosted by Amy Schumer, Regina Hall and Wanda Sykes, handed out awards in 23 categories, from best picture to best director, along with the acting categories and crafts categories including best sound, best production design, best makeup and hairstyling, and best visual effects.
This year, a best popular film category was added to recognize a film chosen by fans, based on Twitter votes. That award went to Zack Snyder’s ‘Army of the Dead’.
