The 94th Oscars are history and was more normal after two years of Covid. Three hosts, Amy Schumer, Regina Hall, and Wanda Sykes shared hosting and had funny lines, but Chris Rock plucked a nerve with Will Smith who actually struck him. Later Smith won Best Actor and bared his soul in an emotional speech. The awards went pretty much as expected with Jessica Chastain, Ariana DeBose, and Troy Kotsur taking acting honors while Jane Campion was Best Director. I was happy Kenneth Branagh won Best Original Screenplay. Dune swept the technical categories with six as top winner and Coda took Best Picture. There were tributes to James Bond and The Godfather anniversaries and nice song performances. The show still ran over by a half hour but it moved fairly well. Time to reload for next year.
