Oscars: Who were the big winners at the 2022 Academy Awards?

AP

The 2022 Oscars were quite the ride.

In a dramatic ceremony that saw Will Smith hit Chris Rock on stage, sci-fi epic Dune swept the board with the most prizes.

Apple TV+ movie Coda was the surprise Best Film winner, beating off competition from former favourite, Netflix’s The Power of the Dog.

The Eyes of Tammy Faye’s Jessica Chastain took home the gong for Best Actress, and Smith won for King Richard. Watch his tearful acceptance speech here.
