The 94th annual Academy Awards were filled with surprises in terms of both winners and memorable moments like WillSmith slapping ChrisRock.
For the first time in a long while, the Academy Awards were actually a hot topic for reasons beyond just the big winners. It was, for the most part, your pretty standard awards event with some groundbreaking wins for some of the biggest movies this year, including Dune, West Side Story, The Power of the Dog, and a surprise Best Picture winner, Apple TV+’s CODA.
The moment had fans wondering at first if it was a staged bit before realizing it was indeed an actual, unscripted altercation between the two. While some believe Smith overreacted in the moment, making the wrong choice by resorting to violence, others point out that there is a history between the two. When Rock hosted the Academy Awards in 2016, he called out Pinkett Smith then as well, saying her boycotting the Oscars was like “me boycotting Rihanna’s panties. I wasn’t invited.
The hosts The trio of hosts, which marked the first time in years the Academy Awards have had a host, did a wonderful job of tying moments together, introducing presenters, and providing much-needed comic relief. They came out of the gate swinging when Amy Schumer noted that they hired three women to host because it was “still cheaper than one man.
Beyoncé’s opening performance Beyoncé had the opening performance of the night, singing and performing Oscar-nominated song “Be Alive” from King Richard. Rather than be on location at the Dolby Theater where the event took place, she performed from the Williams’ sisters hometown of Compton in Los Angeles. With Beyoncé and her dancers all dressed in lime green with white stripes, she was accompanied by a full band on a variety of instruments, all in the same matching hue.
