Oscars 2022: Will Smith, ‘Dune’ + full list of 94th Academy award winners
The Academy awards returned for its 94th edition on Sunday March 27 with its usual shock and thrills from awards to attendees.
For the first time in four years, the Oscars had three hosts- Amy Schumer, Regina Hall and Wanda Sykes plus a memorable event that stunned the world.
So who won the Oscars? The biggest winner of the shock-filled night was the Denis Villeneuve directed ‘Dune’ which won six awards in the cinematography, editing, score, visual effects, production design and sound categories.
‘King Richard’ star actor Will Smith finally bagged his first Oscar in the Best Actor category for his role in the biopic.
However, the actor’s major win barely made it to the most talked about events of the night as prior to winning, he took to the stage to smack comedian Chris Rock in the face for making a joke about his wife’s hair loss.
