With the pandemic in the hopeful rear view mirror, the Academy Awards production were eager to come back with a bang. Putting not one, but three hosts at the helm... Amy Schumer, Wanda Sykes and Regina Hall opened with predictable nominee roasts and sexual innuendos.
Appearing throughout the night, the best of their hosting moments was Wanda waddling on stage as Will Smith's character from "King Richard" with a grocery cart full of tennis balls, Regina Hall as Jessica Chastain from "The Eyes of Tammy Faye" and Amy Schumer flying in as Spider-man.
Attempting to avoid cancellation and past criticism for lack of diversity across all backgrounds, minority representation was in the forefront, from the house band to the presenters and winners.
Although there were well-deserved wins, from Jessica Chastain to "Coda," and memorable performances from the cast of "Encanto" and Billie Eilish, unfortunately the biggest takeaway moment and headline maker from the 2022 Oscars was Best Actor nominee & winner, Will Smith punching Chris Rock in the face center-stage after delivering a joke towards wife Jada Pinkett-Smith.
With all of the highs and lows, the entire point of Oscar Sunday is who went home with Oscar himself.
And the winners are...

WINNER: CODA
