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.
