Oscars 2022 – Full List of Nominees and Winners

oscars 2022

The Oscars have come and gone and that means the award season has reached its crescendo. Instead of its usual February calendar, the biggest night in entertainment was pushed a bit further into the year to hold on the 27th of March, and no, the reason was not due to Covid as with the previous year, but instead, March was chosen to avoid a clash with Winter Olympics in Beijing as well as Super Bowl LVI which was held on Valentine’s eve. Well, Oscars 2022 proved to be worth the wait… the night had many firsts including featuring for the first time three female hosts in the persons of Regina Hall, Amy Schumer, and Wanda Sykes, and of course thanks to the Chris Rock-Will Smith moment, Oscars 2022 was an eventful one that would be remembered as one of the “greatest nights in the history of television.” It was a great night for science fiction lovers as Dune dominated the technical awards sweeping a whopping 6 awards including for visual effects and sounds. Will Smith also won big, snapping his first-ever Oscar award- for Best Actor in a Leading Role for his titular role in King Richard, a biopic about the Williams sisters of tennis.

‘Tribal Mark’ wins Audience Choice Award at AFRIFF 2024

Tribal Mark,’ film by British-Nigerian rapper, Skepta has won the audience choice award at the 13th edition of the African Film Festival (AFRIFF).

In a groundbreaking moment at this year’s African Film Festival, British-Nigerian rapper Skepta took home the prestigious Audience Choice Award for his debut film Tribal Mark. The award, voted on by festival attendees, is a testament to the rapper’s creative talents and the impact his film had on viewers.

For the British rapper, music was just the beginning of his creative pursuits. Co-directed with Dwight Okechukwu, his partner in production company 1Plus1, Skepta hoped that Tribal Mark would address important social issues surrounding immigrants; mental health and racial prejudice

Being the child of immigrants, when I come across other children of immigrants from around the world, I relate to them a lot. And I see how they struggle to communicate certain things, or how the trauma’s eating away at them, you know?” So I just feel like this film is a nice bit of therapy for people who think or feel like me, Skepta told Variety Magazine in May 2024

Written by Andrew Prince Boateng, Sotonye Ogan, and Dwight Okechukwu, the film follows younger Mark played by Jude Carmichael, who struggles with settling into a new life in London after migrating from his home country, Nigeria.

Made up of a 90% minority ethnic cast, the film features Kola Banjo, Jude Carmichael, Camille Cole, Don Donald, Ciaran Duce, Divine Echeazu-Paul, Joseph Forman, Owen Hute, Dain King-Echeazu, Dasia King-Echeazu, Joshua Ojehonmon, Domas Okechukwu, Mark Oliver, Amelia Parillon, Afeni Prevost, Aayan Ibikunle Shoderu, Skeptt, Gabriel Kwasi Tedeku, Luis Timms, Tegasean Ubiebi, Ay Urunning.

Tagged “an immigrant story told with care,” Tribal Mark was seen by the Nigerian audience at AFRIFF on November 8, 2024.

‘BBNaija’ star Soma accused of abuse by ex-girlfriend

BBNaija star Soma has found himself on the wrong side of the court of public opinion after his ex-girlfriend Hilda accused him of drugging, beating, and tying her up.

Amid the drama surrounding Soma’s split from former housemate Angel Smith, allegations that he cheated on her with Hilda circulated on social media. However, on November 6, 2024, Hilda took to X to debunk those claims and make some allegations.

She wrote, “I’ve been done with Somadina Anyama for the longest and seized communication since July but, he again reached out to me in August when he was being dragged on Twitter, accusing me of being “responsible or behind it.”

Hilda made mention of a bracelet, which she claimed Soma accused her of stealing, alleging that he drugged, beat and tied her up in April 2024.

“I’m just going to put these questions out here for you all to ask him. Ask Somadina Anyama how the “stolen bracelet” got to me in the first place. Ask him what happened at my house in late April this year—how he drugged me, hit me, tied me up and smashed my phone—knowing he’d instilled fear in me over the years and thought that I wouldn’t speak up one day,” she added.

She wrote, “Ask him why he keeps lying to everyone, putting on a two-faced mask of innocence. The list is endless! I’ve kept quiet this long and moved on with my life, so please, you all , direct your attention to @soma_apex”

Social media users rook to Soma’s social media pages demanding answers, but the reality star is yet to react to the accusations.

I Won’t Date A Musician Even In My Dreams – Ayra Star

Nigerian singer Ayra Starr, who has never been in a fully committed relationship, has said that when she finally starts to date, it won’t be someone in the music industry. Speaking with American singer Coco Jones during an interview with Rolling Stone, Coco asked her if she would date someone in the industry.

“In the dream world, it wouldn’t be somebody that is in the industry. Probably just like a billionaire. On a yacht. In Dubai. In a thong,” Ayra Starr replied in between fits of laughter. Her response was a nod to a viral social media sound about living a stress-free, soft life.

On the topic of dating, the Rush singer revealed that her standards for relationships have been set very high.

She said, “I’m so happy I wasn’t really dating before I started music. I didn’t know what I was missing. So now that I waited this long to date people, I have very high standards. If it’s gonna be hard to meet it, it’s gonna be bye-bye. But also, I don’t have time for myself; talk less of a boy.”

During a recent interview with Dazed Magazine in September 2024, the singer expressed her longing for a relationship.

“I want to fall in love. I wrote ‘Lagos Love Story’ about what love would look like if I was,” Ayra Starr shared. While she described herself as a lover girl deep in her heart, she also confessed that she is very single.

Ayra Starr clarified that she has never been in a fully committed relationship. “I’m just very strong-headed about it. I have never been in love…I’ve been in certain situations not situationships!—but I’ve never been in a fully committed relationship.”
