Oscars 2022 Winners List
The 94th Academy Awards returned to the Dolby Theater in Hollywood as the top films from the last year were honored by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. The show was hosted by Regina Hall, Amy Schumer and Wanda Sykes, the first time the award ceremony has had multiple hosts since Anne Hathaway and James Franco cohosted the 83rd installment in 2011.
"CODA" won all three awards it was nominated for, including Best Picture and a historic win for Troy Kotsur, who won for best supporting actor, becoming the first Deaf man to win an Academy Award for acting. Marlee Matlin, who also starred in "CODA" was the first Deaf actor to ever win an Oscar when she won Best Actress in 1987 for her role in "Children of a Lesser God."
Jessica Chastain won her first Oscar for her performance in "The Eyes of Tammy Faye." Will Smith took home the award for Best Actor shortly after a shocking moment when he appeared to slap Chris Rock across the face after the comedian made a joke about Smith's wife, Jada Pinkett Smith, while presenting a different award.
But the show ran into controversy long before it even began, when it was announced in February that eight awards would be presented off air to shorten the broadcast and allow more time for scripted bits and musical numbers. Denis Villeneuve's adaptation of Frank Herbert's sci-fi epic "Dune" won awards for sound, production design, original score and editing prior to the start of the official ceremony.
While the Oscars were back in their usual home following a modified ceremony last year due to the COVID-19 pandemic, some protocols remained in place. All attendees were required to show proof of vaccination or a valid medical exemption. Performers and presenters were tested, but were not required to be vaccinated.
