Oscars 2022: ‘CODA’ Wins Best Picture, ‘Dune’ Takes 6 Awards [Full Winners List]

A new report has revealed details about what happened backstage at the 2022 Oscars in the moments immediately following “the slap” from Will Smith.

LIVE – Updated at 13:26This year’s Oscars featured shocks, sighs and surprises – but all anyone will care about is a slap. The Academy Awards took place on Sunday night (27 March), with films including The Power of the Dog, West Side Story, Licorice Pizza and Coda battling it out in the big categories. The biggest story of the night had almost nothing to do with the awards: a shocking altercation between Will Smith and Chris Rock sparked by a joke about Smith’s wife Jada.

The 2022 Oscars saw celebrities turn out in style for an emotional and dramatic evening in Hollywood.This year’s ceremony saw the jaw-dropping moment when Will Smith stormed on stage to slap Chris Rock after he made a joke about his wife Jada Pinkett-Smith, as well as numerous celebrities paying tribute to the war in Ukraine through their fashion and speeches. Amid the drama, it was (almost) easy to forget the reason why A-listers had assembled at the Dolby Theater in Los Angeles - to honour the finest movies from around the world.

It was an Academy Awards which no one will be forgetting anytime soon. Aside from its controversy, this year's Oscars set new records for diversity and representation, as well as giving long-awaited recognition for two big-screen veterans.

Will Smith’s onstage altercation with comedian Chris Rock continues to dominate conversation on social media, the 2022 Oscars were also made memorable by moving acceptance speeches, debut wins, and the ceremony’s three co-hosts – Amy Schumer, Regina Hall and Wanda Sykes. The Oscars’ theme this year was “Movie Lovers United” as the Academy celebrated cinematic excellence across 23 categories.

Oscars enlisted Amy Schumer, Wanda Skyes and Regina Hall to front the ceremony this year. And with these three incredibly funny women at the helm, the Oscars opened with raucous laughter, gasps, and a couple of side-eyes on Sunday 27 March.

The film also hauled in a gold statuette for Best Adapted Screenplay. The sweet coming-of-age family drama — starring Kotsur, Emilia Jones, Marlee Matlin and Daniel Durant — beat out and .'s win is historic, marking the first film to star a predominantly deaf cast to ever earn the Oscar's top honor.

However, while the critically acclaimed film — which memorably unleashed the power of the dong with on-screen full-frontal male nudity — did score a slew of awards before the Oscars, it was not nominated for a Screen Actors Guild Award for best ensemble, which is typically a reliable predictor of a Best Picture win.“Dog” did win best picture in the drama category at the controversy-ridden Golden Globes, which did not air after embarrassing public backlash, alongside “West Side Story,” which was top dog in the musical category.While given seven nods, Steven Spielberg’s updated “West Side Story” hardly shared the same success as the 1961 original, which took home more Oscars than any other musical has.

It was a moment that many expected to play differently – Will Smith finally taking home his Best Actor trophy 20 years after his first Academy Award nomination. It was supposed to be a triumph for an actor, whose career warranted such praise – but instead, it was a uncomfortable moment that followed an unprecedented act of physical violence at the Oscars.
