Oscars 2022: Presenting This Year's Academy Award Winners
Presenting the Winners of the 2022 Oscars
The 2022 Oscar winners have been revealed! A whopping 276 films were eligible to be voted on by members of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, but only 120 entries made the final cut across 23 categories. "Dune" cleaned up six wins for best sound, best original score, best production design, best film editing, best cinematography, and best visual effects. Will Smith took home to award for best actor in a leading role, and Ariana DeBose won for best actress in a supporting role for "West Side Story" — making history as the first Afro-Latina to win an acting Oscar.
Despite its 12 nominations, "The Power of the Dog" only snagged an award for best directing. "Belfast," which tied with "West Side Story" for seven nods, only won for best original screenplay. But overall, Netflix was this year's powerhouse, racking up 27 total nominations.
Though there were a lot of great wins for films like "CODA," the Oscars still missed the mark on a few excellent films and performances this year. Jennifer Hudson was snubbed for her performance in "Respect," Leonardo DiCaprio didn't recieve a nomination for his role in "Don't Look Up," "The Harder They Fall" continued to get ignored this awards season, and Lady Gaga did not receive a nomination for "House of Gucci."
