After a long awards season, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has officially unveiled the winners of the 2022 Oscars. Last year's celebration of a year in cinema was odd to say the least, and while the 2022 ceremony brought some things back to normal (such as implementing hosts once again), it still marked the end of an unusual year for movies. For example, going into Sunday night's Oscars, streaming services were the homes of some of the biggest frontrunners, such as Netflix's The Power of the Dog and Apple TV+'s CODA.
The Oscars enlisted Amy Schumer, Regina Hall, and Wanda Sykes as hosts for this year. The movie with the most nominations was The Power of the Dog, which boasted an impressive 12 noms across the board. In lieu of major blockbusters like Spider-Man: No Way Home and No Time to Die earning best picture nominations, the Academy also started up the Oscars' first fan favorite Twitter award, which has led to some fervent voting in recent weeks. In the end, it went to Zack Snyder's Army of the Dead. And yet, that wasn't enough to stop controversy over the decision to cut certain technical awards from the broadcast. Headlines were also sparked in the middle of the ceremony when eventual best actor winner Will Smith slapped Chris Rock for an offensive joke about his wife, Jada Pinkett Smith.
