The Oscars try a return to normalcy.
Whereas Covid continues to have an effect on Award Season 2022, the Academy Awards have been no less than again of their common house — returning to the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood following final yr’s precaution-filled celebration at Union Station in Los Angeles.
And, after three consecutive years and not using a host, we acquired three this time round: Wanda Sykes, Amy Schumer and Regina Corridor.
Going into the night time, “The Energy of the Canine” scored essentially the most nominations. Following shut behind was “Dune” with 10 nominations and “Belfast” and “West Aspect Story,” which tied with 7 noms apiece.
Although it will likely be one other star-studded present, fewer tickets have been handed out this yr because of the pandemic and destructive checks are required for attendees. In one other large and really controversial change, eight winners — for Animated Quick Movie, Documentary Quick Topic, Movie Modifying, Stay Motion Quick Movie, Make-up and Hairstyling, Unique Rating, Manufacturing Design and Sound — weren’t introduced through the present, however have been as a substitute handed out throughout a non-televised pre-show.
This was finished to permit for extra “comedy, musical numbers, movie clip packages and film tributes” all through the night time. So, did that change repay? Try these viral moments and determine for your self.
Beyonce Kicks Off the Present
The present did not start with the opening bit from the three hosts — extra on that in a minute — however with a (most likely pre-taped) efficiency from Beyonce of the nominated tune “Be Alive” from “King Richard.” She wasn’t in the home, nonetheless, however carried out it from the tennis courts in Compton, house of Venus and Serena Williams.
It was an effective way to kick off the night — now, can the remainder of the present sustain?
I like how Beyoncé goes first so we do not have to look at the entire present whether it is horrible.
