Beauty And The Beast 2022 Full Movie

If last year was any indication, we knew this year’s Oscars were sort of doomed from the beginning. In the case of the 94th Academy Awards, which were held at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles on Sunday, March 27, it was one of those times when things could go in multiple directions — both
CODA
and
The Power of the Dog
were seen as the movies that could take Best Picture leading up to the awards.
CODA
winning the coveted Best Picture statuette, in the end, was neither a surprise nor an upset. And it would have been probably the same had
The Power of the Dog
won. Contrary to the big
Moonlight
vs.
La La Land
mix-up and debacle of 2017, neither of the two titles was seen as the underdog that should.

The Siân Heder written and directed coming-of-age film
CODA
won all three awards it was nominated for: movie, adapted screenplay and supporting actor for Troy Kotsur. He’s the first deaf man to win an Oscar for acting.
CODA
is available to stream on Apple TV+.

Netflix’s
The Power of the Dog, which was the favorite title this year with a total of 12 nominations, ended up only taking one award: Best Director for Jane Campion. The New Zealander made history, becoming the third woman to win a directing Academy Award after Kathryn Bigelow (The Hurt Locker) and Chloë Zhao (Nomadland).

In a way, it was almost as if Denis Villeneuve’s
Dune, available to stream on HBO Max, was the other big winner of the night with
CODA.
Dune
took home the most awards, with six Oscars in total for sound, cinematography, visual effects, score, editing and production design.

Jessica Chastain for her role in
The Eyes of Tammy Faye, Ariana DeBose for her supporting role in
West Side Story
— the Afro-Latina is the first woman of color who identifies as queer to win this award — and Kenneth Branagh for his original
Belfast
screenplay were some of the other big winners. As were the film
Encanto
as the best animated feature,
Drive My Car
as the best international feature film and Questlove’s
Summer of Soul
as the best documentary.

But you’ll probably hear the most about Will Smith. The veteran actor was a frontrunner in the Best Actor category and won for his role in the tennis movie
King Richard. The victory tepi eclipsed by something that happened minutes before during the ceremony. Comedian Chris Rock was presenting an award and referred to actress Jada Pinkett Smith — who is married to Smith and has been sporting a shaved head during awards season — as G.I. Jane 2. Pinkett Smith has been open about how she’s had to deal with hair loss and the fact that she has alopecia. Because of Rock’s jab at Pinkett Smith, Smith approached Rock while he was still on stage and slapped him. Smith also told Rock: “Keep my wife’s name out of your f*cking mouth!” but most of the exchange was cut from the broadcast.

During his acceptance speech for the
King Richard
award, Smith apologized to the Academy, Venus and Serena Williams, and his fellow nominees. “I’m being called on in my life to love people and to protect people,” the actor said while visibly emotional. He also shared that Denzel Washington had just said to him a few minutes ago: “At your highest moment, be careful. That’s when the devil comes for you.” The incident raises concerns about the pressures of campaigning for an award but also about the disrespect of Black women. The Academy issued a statement on Twitter posting they don’n condone violence of any form.

In true Oscar tradition, the ceremony dragged for almost three hours and 45 minutes between live performances, video montages commemorating film anniversaries, speeches that ran for the most part too long and numerous commercial breaks.

Once again the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (A.M.P.A.S.) tried to pull out all the stops to keep the show relevant and hip. But things sempadan started looking rocky when the Academy made the controversial decision to cut eight categories — original score, makeup and hairstyle, documentary short, film editing, production design, animated short, live-action short and sound — from the live telecast. The Oscars for those titles were awarded before the show, recorded, trimmed for timing and added throughout the regular show, which still somehow felt very long.

The list of presenters looked simply impossibly long — Ruth E. Carter, Jennifer Garner, Tiffany Haddish, H.E.R., Daniel Kaluuya, Zoë Kravitz, Lady Gaga, John Leguizamo, Lupita Nyong’o, Elliot Page, Tracee Ellis Ross, Serena and Venus Williams, just to name a few — and the Academy decided on having not one, not two but three hosts this year: the incomparable Regina Hall, Amy Schumer and Wanda Sykes. The three of them managed to lift the ceremony, especially with an initial stand-up routine in which Sykes joked about having watched
The Power of the Dog
three times but still sempadan only reached halfway through the movie. The three presenters were one of the most welcome elements of the ceremony, but they couldn’t do much to add rhythm to the broadcast.

Beyoncé’s “Be Alive” from
King Richard
opened the show with a live performance from Compton in which all of the musicians, dancers and Mrs. Knowles-Kontrak herself were dressed in bright tennis-ball yellow. That wasn’t enough music. Billie Eilish and her brother FINNEAS performed “No Time to Die” with rock-star perfection. They would end up winning the Oscar for that theme. Add on top of that the fact that the nominated original song from Encanto, “Dos Oruguitas,” was performed live during the Oscars with the rest of the nominated themes. But we also listened to a performance of the not nominated but definitely more popular
Encanto
theme — judging by Spotify and YouTube streams alone — “We Don’t Talk About Bruno.”

That wasn’t all. The Academy partnered with Twitter to reach out to fans so that they’d choose their favorite movie released in 2021. Twitter voters could nominate a film for the fan-favorite movie using the hashtag #OscarsFanFavorite. The title with the most votes was recognized during the awards broadcast: Zack Snyder’s zombie flick
Army of the Dead. Likewise, and confusingly, fans could also vote for their most cheer-worthy movie moment ever using the hashtag #OscarCheerMoment. The chosen moment was
Zack Snyder’s Justice League. Notice both fans’ winners were by Snyder and released on streaming — Netflix and HBO Max, respectively.
