After a muted and delayed Academy Awards in 2021, the Oscars returned to something close to full strength in 2022: Back at their old home at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood, back to a lavish red carpet, back to a ceremony full of celebrity presenters and hosts, including Regina Hall, Amy Schumer, and Wanda Sykes.
This year’s race was one of the most turbulent and least predictable in recent memory. As the show was set to begin, the race for Best Picture looked to be a dead heat between Jane Campion’s western The Power of the Dog and Sian Heder’s family drama Coda.
The full show begins live at 8PM Eastern on ABC; we’ll be updating this list live with the winners as they are announced.
