The 94th Academy Awards, which celebrated the biggest films of this year, made headlines for several things. From Will Smith and Chris Rock's altercation to celebrities showing support for Ukraine, there were several surprises seen throughout the event.
The award ceremony returned to Dolby Theatre in Hollywood as the Oscars were held in person completely for the first time since the Covid-19 pandemic began.
The ceremony, which was hosted by Amy Schumer, Regina Hall and Wanda Sykes, handed out awards in 23 categories. This year, a best popular film category was added to recognise a film chosen by fans, based on Twitter votes. That award went to Zack Snyder's 'Army of the Dead'.
However, most of the top awards went to the predicted frontrunners like 'CODA', 'Dune', among others. Here are some of the surprises and snubs that happened at the 2022 Oscars.
