Introduction
The 94th Academy Awards were hosted on March 27 at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood. It has been hosted in public for the first time since the pandemic started. The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS) bestowed the award, which recognised the most incredible movies released between March 1 and December 31, 2021.
Stars arrived in their trendiest attire to honour some outstanding work from the previous year. Regina Hall, Amy Schumer, and Wanda Sykes hosted the event. It was the first time since the 83rd Academy Awards in 2011 that multiple hosts were present.
The Power of the Dog had 12 nominations, followed by Dune with ten, Belfast and West Side Story with seven, while King Richard received six.

The night’s primary highlight was “CODA,” which won an Oscar for best movie, whereas Will Smith and Jessica Chastain won the award for best actress and actor in a prominent role, respectively.
Jane Campion, the filmmaker of “The Power of the Dog,” has become the third woman to win the best director award at Oscar, and Troy Kotsur, the very first deaf man to receive an Oscar award for acting, were among the awardees who made a significant impact on Sunday evening.
Most of the focus on the evening will surely be on Smith, following his on-stage spat with Chris Rock when the comedian made a joke regarding Smith’s spouse, Jada Pinkett Smith.
