The Academy Awards, which broadcast on ABC on Sunday at 8 p.m. EDT/5 p.m. PDT, returned to the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood for the first time in four years and featured a host (really, three of them) for the first time in four years. Read the article to know about OSCAR 2023 Winners List, Best Actor, Actress, Picture and more.
OSCAR 2023 Winners List
Finally, after a long and exhausting awards season, the 94th Academy Awards will take place on March 28. Oscar statues will be awarded in 24 categories on the night of Hollywood’s greatest night — albeit eight of those prizes were controversially given out an hour before the event officially begin at 5 p.m. PT.
The celebrations, which were held under rigorous COVID-19 guidelines, were co-hosted by Amy Schumer, Regina Hall, and Wanda Sykes. Guests were asked to show evidence of vaccination, as well as through numerous rounds of testing, before being there.
Many of the most tenacious Oscar campaigners, many of whom have been on the awards circuit since the autumn of 2022, saw a moment of redemption on Sunday night. Wanda Sykes, Regina Hall, and Amy Schumer will serve as hosts for the event this year, which will be broadcast on ABC.
Nevertheless, whatever positives emerged from tonight’s Oscars ceremony in the wake of the pandemic were overshadowed by Best Actor winner Will Smith’s unscripted onstage confrontation with Best Documentary Oscar presenter Chris Rock, who made a joke about Smith’s wife Jada Pinkett Smith that didn’t go over well with the audience.

The Academy was hoped that moviegoers would band together and inspire an increase in viewership for the 94th Academy Awards broadcast on February 24th. A joke regarding Jada Pinkett-hair Smith’s was told late in the event, prompting her husband, Will Smith, to march out to the stage and hit Chris Rock in front of the audience just as he was ready to accept the best documentary award.
When the two began screaming at one other, ABC shut off the microphones, but unedited foreign feeds captured the two stars spewing profanities at each other. In a few short moments, Smith received the Academy Award for Best Actor and expressed his regret to the academy and his fellow candidates. According to him, “love will drive you to do insane things.”
In an otherwise somber presentation with generally predicted but yet historic outcomes, the encounter was a stunning turn in the story. Audiences saw several historic moments thanks to the variety of this year’s crop of Academy Award candidates.
