An eventful night, to say the least
The 94th Academy Awards came and went, and we received yet another year of brilliant movies. This year, the list of movies chosen for the Oscars came out between March 1 and December 31, 2021. It was held at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles on March 27, 2022. The hosts were Regina Hall, Wanda Sykes, and Amy Schumer.
