Highlights and complete list of winners from 94th Academy Awards
The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences is hoping that movie lovers will unite and spark an uptick in ratings for the 94th Academy Awards.
With the diversity in this year’s crop of Oscar nominees, audiences are likely to see a number of milestones set. A streaming service could take home the trophy for Best Picture, for instance. Right off the bat, Ariana DeBose became the first queer Black woman to win an acting award, taking home Best Supporting Actress for “West Side Story.” Troy Kotsur of “CODA” became the first deaf male actor to win an Academy Award for acting.
The academy has often been criticized for a lack of diversity in its nominations, but in recent years, the nominees have been a celebration of inclusivity. And while there are some clear front-runners for the 94th annual Academy Awards, there’s still room for underdogs to snag an upset in several categories.
There’s also plenty of controversy, too. This year, the show has come under fire for its decision to present some awards before the live broadcast begins and then edit those winners into the show later.
The trio of Regina Hall, Amy Schumer and Wanda Sykes assumed hosting duties during Sunday’s ceremony at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles. For the last three years, the show has not had a host.
