No matter what happens on Oscars night, the real winners are Jessica Chastain’s publicists. The 94th annual Academy Awards hands out its sexy little gold dudes on March 27, live from the Dolby Theatre. As if three hosts – Regina Hall, Wanda Sykes, and Amy Schumer – weren’t enough, the prizes are presented by various public figures ranging from Oscar winners to Grammy winners to X-Games winners including Lupita Nyong’o, Rachel Zegler, Shawn Mendes, and Tony Hawk. And if the kids aren’t tuning in yet, Billie Eilish and FINNEAS, Beyoncé, Encanto’s Sebastian Yatra, and Reba McEntire will perform their nominated original songs. (The kids love Reba! She’s a TikTok sound!) This year, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences decided to schedule some controversy for right at the top of the show. Eight categories, over half of which are under the IATSE union, will be presented ahead of the live broadcast, while all the celebrities are in line for the E! Red Carpet Glambot. The winners for Documentary (Short Subject), Film Editing, Makeup and Hairstyling, Music (Original Score), Production Design, Short Film (Animated), Short Film (Live Action), and Sound will have their acceptance speeches edited back into the broadcast, after they’ve already been tweeted. Here’s the full list of 2022 Academy Award winners and also the winner of the social experiment that was the Oscars Fan Favorite.
