Oscars 2022, also known as the 94th Academy Awards ceremony was held last night at Dolby Theatre in Hollywood, Los Angeles. The ceremony honored the best films that were released between March 1 and December 31, 2021, and it was hosted by Regina Hall, Amy Schumer, and Wanda Sykes.
The nominations were announced last February, with the Netflix film The Power of the Dog being nominated in 12 categories, while Denis Villeneuve’s Dune was nominated in 10 categories. At the end of the ceremony, Dune was the most successful film with awards in six categories, and the Apple TV+ movie CODA won all three awards in which it was nominated. The Eyes of Tammy Faye was nominated in only two categories, and it won in both of them. These 3 movies are the only movies this year that won multiple awards.
