Lights! Camera! Tweet!
The awards show is not dead, after all. The flashy productions we may recall from ceremonies of the pre-pandemic era have more or less returned (though, this time around, requiring vaccination proof and PCR tests), and Twitter has inevitably weighed in.
After last year's ceremony downsized its scale due to the ongoing threat of COVID-19, the 94th Academy Awards returned to Los Angeles's Dolby Theatre tonight. Hosted by comedians Regina Hall, Amy Schumer, and Wanda Sykes, the prestigious show reemerged this year with dozens of glamorous red-carpet looks, history-making wins, and … a brewing feud between Will Smith and Chris Rock?
