And so, the 2022 Oscars came and went, without incident. Well, okay – there was obviously a little drama at this year’s ceremony, but there was a lot to celebrate, too. Winning Best picture, and everything else it was nominate for; Best supporting actor and Best adapted screenplay, Coda absolutely triumphed, bringing a close to its stunning journey from the Sundance Film Festival through to Apple buying the rights to the film and it winning a slew of awards, including at this past month’s BAFTAs.
Will Smith picked up Best Actor for King Richard, while Best Actress went to Jessica Chastain for The Eyes of Tammy Faye. Supporting actress went to Ariana DeBose for West Side Story, while Troy Kotsur picked up supporting actor for the aforementioned Coda.
Another big winner on the night was Dune, scooping most of the technical awards it was nominated for, including Hans Zimmer’s original score, editing, sound and production design, as well as cinematography and visual effects.
Best screenplay was awarded to Kenneth Branagh for the semi-autobiographical Belfast, while Jane Campion won Best director for The Power Of The Dog, its only award of the evening despite 12 nominations.
