Oscars 2022 live updates: Disney-Pixar’s Encanto wins Best Animated Feature-Entertainment News , Firstpost
For the first time in two years, the Academy Awards are rolling out the red carpet at Los Angeles’ Dolby Theatre for what the film academy hopes will be a back-to-normal Oscars. See the winner’s list here
The 94th Academy Awards are underway in Hollywood, on the biggest night in the film industry’s year. The first award went to Dune, for best sound. It was likely to be the first of several awards for Denis Villeneuve’s science-fiction epic, which is favoured to win in many of the technical categories.
The Queen of Basketball, about the basketball great Lusia Harris, took best short documentary film. Its executive producers include Steph Curry and Shaquille O’Neal. The Long Goodbye, a blistering fictional short starring Riz Ahmed also won, as did The Windshield Wiper for best animated short.
The first broadcast award went, fittingly, to Ariana DeBose, who became the first openly LGBTQ actor and first Latina to win best supporting actress. Her win came 60 years after Rita Moreno won for the same role in the 1961 original West Side Story. DeBose thanked Moreno for leading the way for “tons of Anitas like me.”
