The 94th Academy Awards were packed full of highs, lows and more drama than ever before! As the year draws to a close, take a look back on the Oscars night that will go down in history...

Ariana picked up the Best Supporting Actress gong for her performance in Steven Spielberg's interpretation of classic musical 'West Side Story'. In her acceptance speech, she said: "Yes, OK. Oh my word, what is this? Now you see why Anita says I want to be in America because even in this weird world we live in, dreams do come true and that's really a heartening thing right now. "If I took the time to say thank you to every single beautiful person who has lifted me up on this stage, you'd find people would be sitting here until next Oscars so I'm not going to do that."

Troy Kotsur dedicated his Best Supporting Actor win for his performance in drama 'CODA' - in which the deaf characters were played by deaf actors - to "the deaf community and the disabled community". When Troy - who is deaf himself - walked up to the stage at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood, the audience showed their appreciation for his work with silent jazz hands instead of traditional applause, the sign language symbol for clapping. In a signed speech interpreted by a translator, he said: "This is amazing to be here on this journey. I cannot believe I'm here. Thank you so much to the members of the Academy for recognising my work."

Sir Kenneth Branagh took home the statuette for Best Original Screenplay for his coming-of-age drama movie ‘Belfast’ and admitted the accolade an “enormous honour”.

Jane Camption was named Best Director for her Western drama 'The Power of the Dog' - which starred Benedict Cumberbatch as Montana ranch owner Phil Burbank. In her acceptance speech, Campion praised the cast for bringing the story to life. She said: "I love directing because it's a deep dive into story yet the task of manifesting a world can be overwhelming yet the sweet thing is I'm not alone. On 'The Power of The Dog', I worked with actors I'm moved to call my friends. They met the challenge of the story with the depth of their gifts. Benedict Cumberbatch, Kirsten Dunst, Kody Smit-McPhee, Jesse Plemons, my whole crew who are true hearts.."

Jessica Chastain was named Best Actress for her performance as the late televangelist Tammy Faye Messner in 'The Eyes of Tammy Faye' and used her speech to speak out against violence. She said: "There's violence and hate crimes being perpetuated on civilians all over the world. "And in times like this, I think of Tammy and I'm inspired by her radical acts of love. I'm inspired by her compassion, I see it as a guiding principal that leads us forward."

The Disney musical movie was nominated for three prizes and won in the Best Animated Feature category. Following the win, producer Yvett Merino said: "Oh, my goodness... Thank you to the Academy. Thank you. "I'm so proud to be a part of a film that puts beautiful diverse characters in front and center and that people everywhere are seeing themselves in the film."

Denis Villeneuve's sci-fi epic - which starred Timothée Chalamet as Paul Atreides, a heir thrust into a war for the inhospitable desert planet Arrakis. The critically acclaimed flick picked up a total of six Oscars at the ceremony in the cinematography, editing, score, visual effects, production design and sound categories.

Billie Eilish and her brother and songwriting partner Finneas O'Connell were responsible for writing the titular theme song for the James Bond movie 'No Time To Die'. The track was named Best Original Song, making Billie, at the age of 20 at the time, the second youngest artist to receive the Oscar. She said: "I feel like I’m just coming into being aware of what is good and around me. When you’re that young, it’s hard to understand how big of a deal things are around you, how important things."

'CODA' won three Oscars in total on the night; Best Picture, Best Supporting Actor for Kotsur and Best Adapted Screenplay. After the movie was named Best Picture, producer Philippe Rousselet grabbed the mic first and paid tribute to director Sian Heder for what she achieved on the drama. Philippe said: "Thank you to the Academy for letting our ‘CODA’ make history tonight. Congratulations to all of our fellow nominees, your movies were so incredible, we’re all honoured to be here. “Sian, it hasn’t been an easy ride from the first day of shooting when our cast and crew were supposed to be at sea fishing at 4am when we were told a giant storm was about to hit us. It was only the beginning of our problems, but you kept the boat afloat and you’ve been the best captain a producer could ever dream of."

Without doubt, the most memorable moment of the 2022 Oscars was when Will Smith got out of his seat to slap presenter Chris Rock across the face. Will was enraged when Chris made a joke about his wife Jada Pinkett Smith being bald as he presented the award for Best Documentary Feature. Chris quipped, "Jada, I love you. G.I. Jane 2, can't wait to see it, alright?" a reference to the 1997 war drama for which Demi Moore shaved off all her hair to portray Lieutenant Jordan O'Neil. Will then marched towards Chris and struck him across the cheek, prompting the stunned comic to tell the star-studded audience: "Oh Wow. Will Smith just smacked the s*** out of me." Will then shouted from his seat: "Take my wife's name out of your mouth." Later in the evening, Will won the Best Actor gong for his performance in 'King Richard'.
