LOS ANGELES — The star-studded 94th Academy Awards returned to the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles on Sunday night.
Hosts Wanda Sykes, Amy Schumer and Regina Hall kept the mood light throughout the three-hour telecast, but there was a slight bit of excitement when actors Will Smith and Chris Rock shared a heated moment.

Although eight awards – including documentary short, film editing, makeup/hairstyling, original score, production design, animated short, live-action short and sound – were bestowed during a pre-taped segment, the night belonged largely to “CODA.”
Netflix’s “The Power of the Dog” led the 2022 Oscar nominations with 12 nods, followed by Denis Villeneuve’s “Dune” with 10, as well as Kenneth Branagh’s “Belfast” and Steven Spielberg’s “West Side Story” remake with seven nods each.
See the complete list of nominees below, with winners in each category noted in bold and italics:
Best Picture
- “Belfast”: produced by Laura Berwick, Kenneth Branagh, Becca Kovacik and Tamar Thomas
- “CODA”: produced by Philippe Rousselet, Fabrice Gianfermi and Patrick Wachsberger - WINNER
- “Don’t Look Up”: produced by Adam McKay and Kevin Messick

“CODA” just broke a lot of records: It’s the first film distributed by a streaming service to win best picture, the first Sundance premiere to ever take the top Oscar, and the first film since 1932’s GRAND HOTEL to prevail without nominations for directing and editing.
