The Dune: Part Three trailer launch took place in Los Angeles this week, just a day after many of the trilogy's stars attended the 98th Academy Awards. The cast made headlines for their Oscars appearances - Zendaya surprised fans when she presented an award with Dune newcomer Robert Pattinson, while Javier Bardem spoke out against war before announcing the Best International Picture.

However, all eyes were, undoubtedly, on Timothée Chalamet after his months-long Oscar campaign for the Best Actor award. Despite losing out to Michael B. Jordan, the Marty Supreme star appeared in good spirits alongside his girlfriend, Kylie Jenner, with the couple also captured sharing a sweet moment with his older sister, Pauline.

Although he was in LA for the Oscars this weekend, Timothée was notably absent from the Dune: Part Three trailer launch at AMC Century City on Monday 16th March, the day after the Academy Awards. While he didn't attend the launch in person, Timothée did share a message for fans via a pre-recorded video message. He said (per People): "After two impactful films with an in-development process that started in the [mid-2010s], a production process that started in 2018 and over 150 production days across the three films at large, today we are debuting the trailer to Dune: Part Three. This film would not exist without the master of cinema, the great artist that is Denis Villeneuve."

He also added: "I'm not alone in saying thank you to Denis for his dedication in bringing the Dune films to life and now the Dune trilogy to life. I hope you enjoy this first sneak peek at Dune: Part Three."

According to multiple outlets, a representative for Timothée did not comment on his absence. However, it's worth noting that - despite increasing online speculation - he wasn't the franchise's only missing star. Zendaya, Robert Pattinson, Anya Taylor-Joy and Javier Bardem did appear on the panel alongside director Denis Villeneuve, but several of the film's cast also didn't attend, including Florence Pugh, Jason Momoa, Rebecca Ferguson and Lea Seydoux.

Dune: Part Three is set for UK release on 18th December 2026.

As the 2026 Oscars wraps up for another year, all eyes have been on the famous faces that line the seats in the Dolby Theater in Los Angeles. The 98th Academy Awards saw the likes Amy Madigan pick up the Best Supporting Actress for her performance inWeapons, while Sean Penn won the Best Supporting Actor statuette - although he wasn't actually there to pick it up. Despite going viral earlier this year for smoking at the Golden Globes, he missed the Oscars with The New York Times reporting that he had "headed to Europe" instead.

Another A-lister that was notably missing was Margot Robbie. Despite the recent success of Wuthering Heights, which she both starred in and produced, Margot wasn't spotted on the 2026 Oscars red carpet and was also absent from the auditorium. So why wasn't Margot at the Academy Awards this year?

The last time Margot attended the Oscars was in 2024, when Barbie was nominated for Best Picture - although, controversially, its director Greta Gerwig was snubbed from the Best Director category. Additionally, Margot wasn't nominated for Best Actress, but Ryan Gosling was shortlisted for the Best Supporting Actor award.

Two years later, Margot has taken a break from acting and is now a mum to her one year-old baby boy, returning to the screen only recently to play Cathy in Wuthering Heights. There could be several reasons why she didn't attend the Oscars this year - she wasn't presenting any Academy Awards, she had no nominations or affiliation to nominated films, and she has only just finished the busy Wuthering Heights press tour.

Back in September, she opened up about motherhood in an interview with Entertainment Tonight. She said: "It’s funny. If you try to explain it to someone who has kids, you don’t need to because they get it. And if they don’t, it’s probably just really boring to hear. So, you’re just kind of like, 'It’s the best.'"

Perhaps she'll be back next year if Wuthering Heights is nominated at the 2027 Oscars!

Leonardo DiCaprio has once again made Hollywood history, officially adding another name to his line of high-profile Oscars dates. This year, it’s Italian supermodel Vittoria Ceretti, who has captured the spotlight alongside the actor (though they forwent walking the red carpet together) for the first time at Hollywood’s biggest night.

DiCaprio, 51, and Ceretti, 27, are believed to have begun dating in August 2023, when they were first seen together in Santa Barbara, California. Since then, they’ve kept things relatively low-key (as is DiCaprio’s signature), only appearing together at a handful of events, making this Oscars outing their red carpet debut as a couple.

Ceretti, an icon of the runway who has walked for the likes of Versace, Dior, Celine, and Louis Vuitton, also addressed the media attention that comes with dating a mega‑star in an April 2025 Vogue France cover story. She explained how frustrating it can be to be labelled “someone’s girlfriend,” but said that love gives her the confidence to shrug off outside noise. As with so many of DiCaprio’s high-profile relationships, the public is left piecing together clues from scraps of information.

From Gisele Bündchen to Toni Garrn, there are only a handful of supermodels, actresses, and fashion icons who have accompanied him to the awards night. The couple has skipped other major awards shows; DiCaprio attended the 2026 Golden Globes alone.

While DiCaprio still keeps much of his personal life under wraps, Ceretti proved she can hold her own on the red carpet, bringing runway poise and undeniable glamour to a time-honoured Oscars tradition. Here, we look back at some of DiCaprio’s Oscar dates throughout the years.

Amy Madigan just won the Best Supporting Actress Oscar for Weapons—a cool 40 years after her first nomination for Twice in a Lifetime. That’s officially the longest gap between acting nods for a woman, turning her win into a full-circle Hollywood moment, the kind usually reserved for Hallmark movies. It’s also the kind of story that reminds us how rare it is to sustain a career this long. The best things come to those who wait, and all.

Madigan has spent decades building a career that’s iconic, yes, but also understated. She’s the type of actor you recognise immediately, even if you can’t always place her name, appearing in classics, cult favourites, and unforgettable supporting roles, like the eerie Aunt Gladys in Weapons, which earned her this long-awaited Oscar.

In an industry obsessed with youth, Madigan shows us what longevity looks like: a career that spans decades, genres, and generations of audiences. At 74, she’s thriving in Hollywood on her own terms, showing that—contrary to Hollywood lore—talent, relevance, and style don’t expire with age.

Her 2026 Oscars look, a Dior suit scattered with feather paillettes and topped off with tinted glasses, was further proof that elegance, experimentation, and personal style aren’t bound by age. It also serves as a reminder that fashion, like talent, can evolve over decades, and that women in their 70s can still define what it means to be stylish, confident, and unapologetically themselves.

Here, we look back at Amy Madigan’s red carpet appearances through the ages.

Amy Madigan’s Red Carpet Appearances Through the Ages

The 2026 Oscars is well underway, and the biggest celebrities in Hollywood have gathered at the Dolby Theater in Los Angeles to celebrate the very best in the industry. While all the nominees will be going home with a seriously luxurious goodie bag, the winners have already included some of the biggest films of the last year, including KPop Demon Hunters, Frankenstein and Weapons.

But one of the biggest talking points in the run up to the 2026 Oscars has been Timothée Chalamet - whether it's for his commitment to the Marty Supreme press tour, his Golden Globes shoutout to Kylie Jenner, or his head-to-head with Michael B Jordan for the Best Actor statuette.

However, last week Timothée found himself in hot water for his controversial comments about ballet and opera. And, as soon as the Academy Awards kicked off tonight, host Conan O'Brien addressed the backlash - and made a less than subtle reference to the viral interview. Within minutes of the show starting, the Oscars host said to the room: "I'm told there’s concern about attacks from both the opera and ballet communities. They’re just mad you left out jazz."

Taking the early jibe in his stride, the Marty Supreme actor was caught on camera immediately after, laughing along with his partner and Oscars date, Kylie.

In case you missed it, a clip of Timothée discussing his work went viral last week. In the chat with his Interstellar co-star Matthew McConaughey during a CNN and Variety town hall last month, he said: "I admire people, and I've done it myself, who go on a talk show and say, 'Hey, we've got to keep movie theatres alive, we've gotta keep this genre alive."

He added: "And another part of me feels like if people want to see it, like Barbie, like Oppenheimer, they're going to go see it and go out of their way to be loud and proud about it. I don't want to be working in ballet, or opera, or things where it's like, 'Hey, keep this thing alive, even though like no one cares about this anymore.'"

Sensing his comments may not at landed, he said: "All respect to all the ballet and opera people out there. I just lost 14 cents in viewership. I just took shots for no reason."

The Oscars is currently live in the UK on ITV 1.

The 2026 Oscars is taking place at the Dolby Theater in Los Angeles tonight, and - in true Academy Awards fashion - the 2026 Oscars red carpet was, undoubtedly, one of the best of awards season. From Chase Infiniti's romantic pink Louis Vuitton gown, to Jessie Buckley's Chanel off-the-shoulder red and pink dress.

If you're still catching up, here's how you can watch the Oscars now as it's all unfolding. For now, here's the full list of winners from the 2026 Oscars so far - updating as it happens.

Zoe Saldaña has just won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress at the Academy Awards for her role in Emilia Pérez.

The Marie Claire UK cover star opened her acceptance speech by thanking her mother.

Saldaña was the frontrunner for the award, thanks to her performance as a high-powered defence attorney in Jacques Audiard's musical crime movie. She had already claimed several major supporting actress accolades leading up to the Oscars, including a Golden Globe, BAFTA, and SAG Award.

However, the film faced controversies, particularly due to offensive social media posts from the film's lead star, Karla Sofía Gascón, which threatened to overshadow its success. Saldaña recently addressed the controversy surrounding Emilia Pérez and her co-star Karla Sofía Gascón, saying somewhat opaquely, “We are responsible for everything we say.”

Emilia Pérez entered the Academy Awards with a record-breaking 13 nominations—three more than any previous foreign-language film. The film's journey began at the Cannes Film Festival last year, where Saldaña, Gascón, and co-stars Adriana Paz and Selena Gomez jointly received the Best Actress Award.

Saldaña closed her acceptance speech by honouring her grandmother who moved to America from the Dominican in 1961 and recognising her role as “a proud child of immigrant parents. With dreams and dignity and hard-working hands,” Saldaña finished by saying, “And I am the first American of Dominican origin to accept an Academy Award. And I know I will not be the last...I hope!”

The 97th annual Academy Awards are underway this evening, and we're here to report on all of the best Oscars 2025 fashion and beauty looks ahead of the big ceremony.

Quickly filling up with this year's nominees ready to snap up a highly acclaimed luxurious goody bag worth $170K. We're exceptionally excited to see who will make it into our comprehensive list of best Oscar dresses of all time.

Stay on the lookout as we continue to update the best looks of the night as we gear to find out who will take the big wins this evening.

Following a delay in releasing the Academy Awards nominations, the list of potential Oscar winners for 2025 is finally here. This year, the final list of Academy Awards nominees was shared by Bottoms star Rachel Sennott and SNL favourite Bowen Yang live from the Samuel Goldwyn Theater in Beverly Hills.

With the 2025 Academy Awards due to take place on Sunday 2nd March, we now know which stars are in for a chance at taking home the coveted golden statuette. While the Golden Globes winners and BAFTA nominations have been an interesting indication of who could expect to win an Oscar this year, the shortlist has been eagerly anticipated.

Films that have been widely recognised include Emilia Pérez, The Brutalist and Conclave, while Ariana Grande received her first Academy Award nomination for her role in Wicked. Cynthia Erivo is also in the running for the Best Actress award for her performance as Elphaba, and she's up against Demi Moore once again. The Substance actress won the award in the same the category at this year's Golden Globes.

For Best Actor, Timothée Chalamet, Adrien Brody and Ralph Fiennes have been nominated, and in the Best Film category it's a battle between the likes of The Substance, Wicked, Emilia Pérez and A Complete Unknown.

The complimentary bags, which will be gifted to the likes of America Ferrera and Christopher Nolan this year, are stuffed with over 70 brands who pay an inclusion fee of $4,000 to get their products in. In return, it's hoped that the celebs will fall in love with the goodies, and potentially market them to a wider audience. The bags are not officially affiliated with the Academy Awards. 

Founder Lash Fary said: "While this gift bag does, as always, have an impressive six-figure value, that is neither our focus nor goal. Just as any A-list actor doesn't 'need' millions of dollars to walk onto a film set, these gifts are given based on the invaluable stardust these nominees can bestow upon a brand. Of course, they can afford to buy these things; they are also in a uniquely favourable marketing position.  This is a straightforward win/win transaction."

If they ever need gift bag testers, we'll happily volunteer. 

Award season is in full swing, and we've already seen the stars gathering in a number of sparkling Los Angeles' hotspots to celebrate the best in film and TV. America Ferrera's powerful acceptance speech at the Critics Choice Awards went viral, the Emmy Awards goodie bags were a sight to behold and the Golden Globes confirmed that Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet aren't just dating - they are madly in love. 

While there are a few more awards shows before we land at the Oscars 2024, the 96th Academy Awards is set to be a *big* one. This year, the A-listers will be gathering at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood on Sunday 10th March, with some huge contenders in the mix for those coveted golden statuettes - and it looks like Oppenheimer, Barbie, Killers of the Flower Moon and Poor Things will scoop up multiple accolades. 

So, who is up for one of the most prestigious achievements in Hollywood? The Oscars 2024 nominations have been announced - and here they are. Oppenheimer could be the biggest winner of the night given its 13 nominations, while Poor Things is hot on its heels with 11 nominations. Not far behind them, Killers of the Flower Moon has 10 nominations, while Barbie struck 8 - and secured itself on the Best Picture list. 

However, the nominations have already proved to be a little controvesial. While America Ferrera and Ryan Gosling have been nominated in the Supporting categories for their performances in Barbie, Margot Robbie missed out on the Best Actress list. Leonardo DiCaprio also missed a nod in the Best Actor category, while only one female director is found on the Best Director shortlist.

When it comes to the most iconic Oscars dresses of all time, there's no doubt about it - Gwyneth Paltrow's infamous pink Ralph Lauren gown is right up there with the very best. In fact, twenty five years later, it's still one of her most talked-about looks. No small feat considering it dates back to 1999, and given the resurgence of 90s fashion trends in recent years it's no wonder that it continues to inspire.

Gwyneth wore the floor-length dress to the 71st Academy Awards where she picked up the prestigious golden statuette in the Best Actress category for her performance in Shakespeare In Love. The bubblegum pink taffeta gown was created by Ralph Lauren and features spaghetti straps, a V-neckline and full skirt. The simplicity of the cut means it has stood the test of time while symbolising everything that was iconic of that fashion era. She wore it with a matching pink shawl and a Harry Winston diamond choker, bracelet and earrings set.

It's said that at the time, Gwyneth didn't work with a stylist and simply went to Ralph Lauren a few days prior to the event to pick something out. It originally came with a corset-like top, which was switched for the more wearable one we know and love.

According to reports, she didn't want to put too much pressure on herself and simply wanted to 'look really sweet' - and it definitely worked. On the red carpet, she even told a reporter: "If you think about how much people are talking about something as silly as a dress, I think it would make me absolutely incapable of leaving the house. So I just tuned it all out and wore what I thought was pretty."

While the dress still divides some people (her mother Blythe Danner was said to hate it), it is largely still loved by most to this day, and it looks like its story is set to carry on. Gwyneth told The Hollywood Reporter that her daughter is welcome to it for her prom, hoping that it will get its time to shine once again, explaining: "Maybe she’ll wear it to prom and do a Pretty in Pink thing and resew it and cut it up".

Lucky girl.

How to watch the Oscars 2024 in the UK?

The Oscars will air in the UK in the late hours of Sunday 10th March, kicking off at 11pm and running until 3am GMT on Monday 11th March. For the first time, UK viewers can watch the Oscars 2024 on ITV with the ITVX streaming platform airing red carpet footage from 9.30pm GMT, and ITV1 broadcasting the Oscars Live at 10.15pm GMT.

Here at Marie Claire UK, we'll be bringing you all the best red carpet outfits plus live reporting of all the must see moments of the night. Follow our Instagram for the latest updates. 

Make sure to check out all the Oscars Academy Awards Nominees 2024, while you're here. 

The Oscars nominees have been announced, with a fair amount of surprises - and 'snubs' - from the Academy. 

As many had anticipated, Austin Butler and his new accent have been nominated in the Best Actor category, and James Cameron's Avatar is up for Best Picture. While many are pleased to see that Michelle Yeoh is up for the Best Actress statuette for her performance in Everything Everywhere All at Once, the lack of female nominees in the Best Director category has not gone unnoticed. 

However, everyone who watched Normal People and fell in love with Connell (and his chain) is thrilled to see that Paul Mescal is in the running for the Best Actor award. 

The Irish born actor has been nominated for his role in indie drama Aftersun, which tells the story of an 11 year old girl and her father.

Following the Academy's announcement that Paul was in line for an Oscar, his sister Nell shared a sweet photo of the family during a FaceTime call with everyone looking absolutely overjoyed. 

In the snap, Paul and Nell are joined by their parents and brother - and it is the sweetest thing you'll see today. 

Fans flocked to comment, with one writing: "Oh my god this is so precious."

Another added: "You must be so proud !!! this is amazing. he is so deserving of this."

The actor has released an official statement via Independent to thank the Academy and share his excitement, saying: "This is truly a special moment for everyone involved in Aftersun. 

"To be recognised by the Academy is such an insane honour and I’m so utterly grateful. I want to dedicate this nomination to my two friends Charlotte [Wells, director] and Frankie [Corio, co-star] who I love dearly! This is bananas, thank you!"

Alongside Paul in the Best Actor category are Colin Farrell, Brendan Fraser, Austin Butler and Bill Nighy. 

Awards season is well and truly underway, with the Golden Globes kicking things off earlier this month. The red carpet was packed with A-listers, and there were a number of viral moments - from Jennifer Coolidge's iconic acceptance speech, to Andrew Garfield and Amelia Dimoldenberg's 'awkward British flirting'.

But there's one moment that everyone - the Hollywood elite and film fans alike - have been waiting for: the 2023 Academy Awards nominees list. 

This year, there are a number of actors and directors vying for that coveted golden statuette, and movies that have been rumoured to be in the running - and now we know exactly where each Oscar may be going come 12 March. 

There are some nominations that probably won't shock too many people - Baz Luhrmann's Elvis and James Cameron's Avatar: The Way of Water are both up for Best Picture - and in the acting categories, Austin Butler and Paul Mescal are up for consideration, as are Cate Blanchett and Ana de Armas.

However, it hasn't been without controversy. Many have noted that the Best Director category is lacking any female representation with five male nominees, and the Academy has seemingly 'snubbed' popular contenders like Viola Davis, Paul Dano and Tom Hanks - as well as leaving a Babylon shaped hole in the Best Picture category. 

From where and when the Oscars 2023 will take place, the host, as well as the all-important nominations, we have all you need to know. 

When are the Oscars 2023?

The Oscars 2023 - also known as the 95th Academy Awards - will take place on 12 March 2023. 

The ceremony will be held at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, which is the usual location for the film honours over the last 20 years - except for the coronavirus pandemic in 2021.

How to watch the Oscars 2023?

For those wanting to watch the Oscars 2023 in the UK may struggle as the awards ceremony will kick off at 8 pm Eastern Time on 12 March, which is 1 am on 13 March for those in the UK.

The ceremony will last a few hours, which means watching live will be an all-nighter - almost. 

Die-hard movie buffs in the UK can watch the ceremony on Sky Cinema's dedicated Oscars channel, or on a highlights reel on Sky Max post-Oscars. 

Full coverage of the 95th Academy Awards will be streamed via NOW, which is ideal for those with a NOW Sky Cinema Pass. 

Those watching stateside can view the ceremony on ABC live. 

Who will host the Oscars 2023?

There is always much speculation over who will host the awards ceremonies, and this year presenter and chat show host Jimmy Kimmel has been confirmed to host the Oscars 2023. 

Jimmy first hosted the Oscars back in 2018, and will return on 12 March to helm the ceremony for a third time. 

Previous recognisable names who have hosted the Oscars include actor Steve Martin, Chris Rock, Ellen DeGeneres, as well as many more.

Will Smith has resigned from the Oscars Academy, and been banned from Academy events for the next 10 years, and now he could be at risk of losing his Oscars gong, which is his first Oscars award.

Last month the Hitch actor hit out at comedian Chris Rock, after he appeared to poke fun at Will’s wife Jada Pinkett Smith’s shaved head, which is a result of a health condition called alopecia.

After slapping Chris, Will returned to his seat, but continued to shout at Chris from his seat, and said: “Keep my wife’s name out your f***ing mouth”.

Just weeks after the 94th Academy Awards and talks are still underway about Will and his actions on the night, and there is reportedly a "50/50 chance" Will could have his first ever Oscars gong rebuked.

The board consists of 54 members, which is split between 25 female and 29 male. But the group are said to be "almost entirely split" on whether to take Will's Best Actor title for his role in King Richard back.

A source told The Sun Online: "There have been at least two different Zoom and conference calls with various members, and specific governors over the past ten days.

"The decision was made earlier this week to expedite the hearing in the wake of Will’s resignation, and during that call it was clear that the decision would go to the wire.

"The members — of which there are over 9,000, with hundreds of WhatsApp groups flying about — are completely split.

"The governors themselves are also said to be in disagreement.

"Given, though, that convicted sexual predator Harvey Weinstein and fugitive child rapist Roman Polanski haven’t been stripped of their gongs, the general consensus is that it would be madness and rank hypocrisy to take such a stand now.

"But, as we all know, Hollywood is a law unto itself, frankly."

Will Smith has been banned from the Oscars and Academy events for the next 10 years, after he slapped Chris Rock at this year's awards ceremony.

According to TMZ the Academy's Board of Governors met on Friday 8 April to vote on the next steps for the 53-year-old actor, who picked up the Best Actor award for his role in King Richard at the 94th Academy Awards last month.

It has been reported the Academy President and CEO voted during the meeting, and the decision was made to ban Will from attending any Academy events "in person or virtually".

The statement read: "The Board of Governors has decided, for a period of 10 years, from April 8, 2022, Mr. Smith shall not be permitted to attend any Academy events or programs in person or virtually, including but not limited to the Academy Awards."

The Hitch star has remained quiet since the ordeal, but acknowledged and accepted the punishment.

He replied in a separate statement, and wrote: "I accept and respect the Academy's decision."

Will hit out after the comedian appeared to poke fun at Will’s wife Jada Pinkett Smith’s shaved head, which is a result of a health condition called alopecia.

Will went on to shout at Chris from his seat, and said: “Keep my wife’s name out your f***ing mouth”.

There has been a mixed response from Hollywood stars, despite Will’s several apologies, both on the night, and in the aftermath of the event, which has seen him resign from the Oscars Academy. 

In one apology, which Will shared on his Instagram account, he wrote: "Violence in all of its forms is poisonous and destructive. My behaviour at last night's Academy Awards was unacceptable and inexcusable. Jokes at my expense are a part of the job, but a joke about Jada's medical condition was too much for me to bear and I reacted emotionally."

"I would like to publicly apologise to you Chris. I was out of line and I was wrong. I am embarrassed and my actions were not indicative of the man I want to be."

Will Smith slapped Chris Rock while on stage at this year's Oscars 2022.

The King Richard actor - who picked up his first Oscars for his role in the new movie - hit out after the comedian appeared to poke fun at Will's wife Jada Pinkett Smith's shaved head, which is a result of a health condition called alopecia.

The 53-year-old actor went on to shout at Chris from his seat, and said: "Keep my wife's name out your f***ing mouth".

There has been a mixed response from Hollywood stars, despite Will's several apologies, both on the night, and in the aftermath of the event, which has seen him resign from the Oscars Academy. 

Some insist Will should have been removed from the event, but the Hitch star was prevented from being "physically removed" after the altercation.

Speaking on ABC's Good Morning America, the producer of the Oscars, Will Packer, said: "I had not been a part of those conversations.

"So, I immediately went to the Academy leadership that was on site and I said, 'Chris Rock doesn't want that'."

Packer has insisted the comedian refused for any action to take place to discipline Will on the evening, and was "not angry" at Will or by the moment.

"Rock has made it clear that he does not want to make a bad situation worse. That was Chris's energy. His tone was not retaliatory. His tone was not angry", Packer added.

He continued: "So I was advocating what Rock wanted at that time, which was not to physically remove Will Smith at that time, because, as it has now been explained to me, that was the only option at that point.

"It has been explained to me that there was a conversation that I was not a part of to ask him to voluntarily leave."

Chris also urged for police not to get involved in the matter either, although Will - who has Jaden, Willow and Trey Smith - was at risk of being charged with "battery".

Packer continued: "They were saying, you know, this is - battery was the word they used at that moment. They said, 'We will go get him. We are prepared. We're prepared to go get him right now. You can press charges. We can arrest him'.

"They were laying out the options, and as they were talking, Chris was being very dismissive of those options. He was like, 'No, I'm fine'. He was like, 'No, no, no', Even to the point where I said, 'Rock, Let them finish'.

"The other LAPD officers finished laying out what his options were and they said, 'Would you like us to take any action?' And he said, 'No'. He said, 'No'."

Will Smith slapping Chris Rock on stage during this year's Oscars Awards was the conversation on everyone's lips this awards season.

Almost one week on from the 94th Academy Awards and the Hitch actor has decided to resign from the Oscars Academy following the altercation, which took place on stage at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles on 29 March.

On the evening Will took to the stage, and lashed out at Chris after he joked about his wife Jada Pinkett Smith, as he appeared to poke fun at the 50-year-old actor's shaved head, which is a result of her hair-loss condition, alopecia.

All fired up, the King Richard actor – who picked up the Best Actor award for his role in the production – fumed: “Keep my wife’s name out of your f***ing mouth.”

The 53-year-old actor made this decision because he believes his actions on the night were "inexcusable".

In a statement from the actor, it read: "My actions at the 94th Academy Awards presentation were shocking, painful, and inexcusable."

"I betrayed the trust of the Academy. I deprived other nominees and winners of their opportunity to celebrate and be celebrated for their extraordinary work.”

“So, I am resigning from membership in the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, and will accept any further consequences the Board deems appropriate.”

The Academy have accepted his resignation, and will "continue to move forward" with disciplinary proceedings following the assault.

Chris addressed the altercation for the first time earlier this week, revealing he was ‘still processing’ what happened, and Will Smith released a lengthy apology on Instagram about his behaviour.

It has had a mixed response from Hollywood stars, but the board of governors met on Wednesday to discuss violations against their standards of conduct, and repercussions for the actor could include suspension, expulsion or other sanctions.

The moment has since sparked many conversations about mocking autoimmune disorders (Jada has previously opened up about her struggle with alopecia) and male violence.

From feuds to reunions

The Oscars 2022 may have been pushed back a few months due to the coronavirus pandemic, but it certainly was back with a bang this year.

Despite fears the annual ceremony may not go ahead due to Covid outbreak, Zendaya and Jessica Chastain's sparkly designer outfit turned heads, and the well-deserved triumph Dune and CODA saw last night blew our minds.

But there are some more impressive, heartfelt, and quite shocking moments from the 94th Academy Awards, which took place at The Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles on 27 March, you may have missed.

Don't fret, as we will give you the full lowdown on what went on during the annual ceremony on stage, and off stage.

From that fight, and the tributes to those suffering in Ukraine and Betty Whites in memoriam, to unmissable music performances by Beyonce, and many iconic film cast reunions.

1. Beyoncé's performance

The opening performance of any concert, movie, song, and awards ceremony sets the precedent, so of course Beyoncé performing her track Be Alive to kick off this year's awards ceremony meant this was destined to be one heck of a bash.

The powerhouse belted out the track from Venus and Serena Williams' hometown tennis courts in Compton, Los Angeles, ahead of the show to honour the movie about the tennis pro's lives in King Richard. 

Be Alive was nominated for Best Original song, but missed out to Billie Eilish's No Time To Die, though Will Smith picked up the gong for Best Actor in the movie.

2. The many film reunions

We love a reunion like everyone else, and after over two years in lockdown amid the coronavirus pandemic, it is no surprise the reunions came in by the dozen at the 94th Academy Awards.

Firstly on the red carpet Zendaya and Spider Man: No Way Home co-star Andrew Garfield posed for pictures together, and could be seen laughing and joking together, just months after the hotly anticipated was released last year.

Pulp Fiction icons Samuel L. Jackson, John Travolta, and Uma Thurman reunited on stage to present the Best Actor award. But prior to reading out the envelope John and Uma reenacted that iconic dance scene in the Quentin Tarantino 1994 hit.

Speaking of 90's movie classics, White Men Can't Jump cast Woody Harrelson, Wesley Snipes and Rosie Perez reunited to present the Achievement in Cinematography award 30 years after the film hit the big screen. Of course, they joked about their characters in the movie, and Woody - who played Billy Hoyle in the production - not being as good a basketball player as he really is.

3. Will Smith and Chris Rock fight

You couldn't miss it, and you can't un-see it either. Even comedian Chris Rock claimed the moment would go down in history. He said "That was the greatest night in the history of television."

But let's backtrack a little, and explain the turn of events.

Will Smith smacked Chris Rock after he joked about his wife Jada Pinkett Smith – but this was no prank. Chris appeared to poke fun at Jada's shaved head, which is a result of an ongoing battle with alopecia. But Will did not take it lightly and instantly jumped onto the stage to slap Chris, before shouting "Keep my wife's name out your f***ing mouth".

But Chris insisted it was just a GI Jane joke, and not a slant on the illness.

4. Betty White tribute

Betty White tragically passed away in December 2021, and to mark the iconic actor's life and career, a segment dedicated to The Proposal presented by Jamie Lee Curtis was scheduled into the show.

Not only did Jamie pay tribute to Betty with her outfit, but her plus one, who was rescue dog Mac-N-Cheese, and Jamie urged the audience to adopt a pet like Betty would have wanted before images of the star appeared on screen.

During her speech Jamie said: "She was not only a Golden Girl, she was a legend who brightened every room she walked in and brought a smile to the faces of all who watched her on the screen. And day in and day out for almost a century, she was a woman who cared so much for not just her two-legged friends but for animals just like this."

5. Ukraine moment of silence

A moment of silence was held at this year’s Oscars ceremony 2022 to pay respect to those in Ukraine suffering from the Russia invasion.

Prior to the heartfelt moment Ukraine-born Mila Kunis spoke out about the horrific event, which saw Russia president unleash a multi-pronged attack on Ukraine on February 24 that is still ongoing.

Reba McEntire went on to perform Somehow You Do from Four Good Days on stage, which was followed by the moment of silence.

6. Unexpected Encanto collaboration

The track from Disney phenomena Encanto, We Don't Talk About Bruno, which has had us all singing our hearts out was performed at this year's Oscars.

John Leguizamo, who plays the role of Bruno in the production, introduced his family and fellow cast members to the stage to belt out the top-streamed track from the movie.

But, in a plot twist, Megan Thee Stallion appeared on stage to drop a remix verse - much to our surprise.

7. ASL reaction

CODA stormed the Oscars as it picked up three awards, including Best Picture, as well as Best Adapted Screenplay, while Troy Kotsur picked up the Best Actor in a Supporting Role title.

The movie depicts the only child who can hear in a deaf family trying to navigate her life, education and career, and the fear of leaving her family to pursue her dreams.

Troy - who portrays Frank Rossi in the production - gave a heartfelt speech as he picked up his award, which saw him thank his dad for teaching him, and hail his father his "hero". The moving acceptance speech touched many hearts and saw the audience stand in ovation to applause in ASL.

8. Speed dating

Regina Hall took the opportunity at this year's Academy Awards to enjoy a little speed dating. That's right.

She called out single males and brought them on stage for her to "emergency test".

Speaking on stage, she said: "Before we go on with the show we just have to do quick emergency testing backstage. Don't worry it's only a few people. It's totally random."

Timothée Chalamet, Tyler Perry, Bradley Cooper and Simu Liu were called up on stage, as was Will Smith in a tongue in cheek request, after he and wife Jada Pinkett Smith previously addressed "entanglements" during their relationship, although Will declined.

9. Unplanned on-stage interruptions

Not only did Will Smith storm the stage, but so did DJ Khaled.

Amy Schumer, Wanda Sykes and Regina Hall were the hosts leading the awards ceremony this year, but the I'm The One hitmaker thought the trio needed a better introduction, and joined them on stage to introduce them better.

"Hold up, hold up, hold up, hold up, hold up, hold up. Let me introduce the three queens, right. Let me introduce this the right way. I'm talking about actresses, comedians, moguls, bosses. They didn't believe in us. The Oscars did", he said.

10. 60 years of James Bond tribute

"The name is Bond, James Bond." Iconic!

Can you believe we've enjoyed 60 years of James Bond movies? Us neither.

To mark the major milestone a segment dedicated to the franchise took place at the Oscars ceremony. Athletes Kelly Slater, Tony Hawk and Shaun White took to the stage to praise the iconic action films.

Kelly said: "While we tried our best to be game-changers in our respective sports, there's no question James Bond was a game-changer influencing our culture and the look and standards of films for over half a century."

The speech followed a video montage dedicated to the Bond movies, with clips of the most memorable and iconic scenes over the six decades appearing on screen.

Now, we have to wait another year for the Oscars to come around again - and we can't wait.

Betty White died in December 2021

Betty White tragically passed away in December 2021, but the late actor was in our thoughts at the Oscars 2022 for numerous reasons.

The 94th Academy Awards saw a segment dedicated to The Proposal star following her passing, and the in memoriam was presented by Jamie Lee Curtis, who worked with Betty on 2010 rom-com You Again.

Jamie, 63, took things one step further as her outfit, and plus one, who came in the form of a rescue dog, was inspired by Betty.

The Freaky Friday star wore a crystal embroidered navy dress designed by British fashion designer Stella McCartney, while Cathy Waterman provided the sustainably and ethically sourced jewellery, to add to the blue ribbon Jamie wore to support refugees in Ukraine amidst Russia war.

Speaking about her outfit ahead of the 94th Academy Awards to PEOPLE, Jamie said: "Here's the series of fortunate events that led to that moment at the Oscars.

"My first thought was that I should bring out a rescue dog with me since Betty White loved animals more than people. It would honour her legacy of activism and support for animal rights. I then thought I should wear a designer who is an animal rights supporter and who uses sustainable materials and non-animal materials in their designs.

"Stella McCartney has been carrying on the legacy of her mother, Linda McCartney, and her lifelong veganism and animal rights activism.

"Within 10 minutes Stella and I were texting and the dress was designed. There were some complications of getting a little rescue dog due to union rules, but I persevered and I'm happy that I was able to shine the many bright lights of that moment on the heroes who rescue animals and who offer them a new chance at living in a loving and nurturing family. I love the 'connect the dots' of this whole moment."

We love this!

Leonardo DiCaprio isn’t the only one to have had his share of award snubs, but it’s hard to believe some of the films that have missed out on the biggest prizes in Hollywood. So as the world turns its attention to The Academy Awards for another year, we look back at the greatest pictures to have never bagged an Oscar. And there are some serious shockers.

1. The Wizard Of Oz

Hailed as one of the toughest categories in the ceremony’s history, the 1940 Oscars saw The Wizard Of Oz miss out on the Best Picture gong to Gone With The Wind. Although the two films shared a director in Victor Fleming, the much-loved musical was arguably his better work.

2. Brokeback Mountain

Despite being tipped to take home Best Picture at the 2006 ceremony, Brokeback Mountain missed out to Paul Haggis’ Crash on the night. Even Jack Nicholson couldn’t believe the news as he announced the winner on stage, leaving Hollywood sobbing over Brokeback’s awards snub.

3. Pulp Fiction

Quentin Tarantino’s Pulp Fiction may have cemented itself as one of the most iconic films of all time, but a 1995 battle against Forest Gump meant missing out on Best Picture. We’re not big fans of anything that makes Bruce Willis pull a sad face, but the cult flick did find some justice in the Best Original Screenplay category.

4. Drive

Look away Ryan Gosling supporters, the actor’s 2012 efforts in Nicolas Winding Refn’s Drive didn’t do much for his Oscars campaign. The 80s-style thriller should have arguably been up for Best Actor on Gosling’s part, but was lumped with just one nomination for sound editing. Humph.

5. Edward Scissorhands

Of all the Tim Burton and Johnny Depp hook-ups, 1990‘s Edward Scissorhands has marked their partnership in history. Besides some much-deserved recognition for Best Makeup, which went to Dick Tracy on the night, Depp should’ve been a shoo-in for Best Actor, going to Jeremy Irons for Reversal Of Fortune.

6. Fight Club

Even the sight of Brad Pitt as tough-guy Tyler Durden wasn’t enough to get Fight Club a significant gong at the 1999 Oscars. Nevermind the fact that Helena Bonham Carter was denied a spot on the Best Supporting Actress shortlist, the David Fincher flick was given just one nomination in the Best Effects category.

7. Singin’ In The Rain

Stanley Donen and Gene Kelly created one of the most loved films in American movie history with 1952’s Singin’ In The Rain. But the heartwarming production failed to bag a nomination at the following year’s Oscars, leaving The Greatest Show On Earth to take home all the Best Picture glory.

8. Psycho

There’s no denying the cold chill Alfred Hitchcock’s Psycho sent down the spines of cinema-goers in 1960. Despite nods in the Best Director category and a Best Supporting Actress nomination for Janet Leigh, the legendary film left the Academy Awards empty handed.

9. It’s A Wonderful Life

Even after five nominations at the 1947 Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Director, Frank Capra’s It’s A Wonderful Life bagged no Oscars at the coveted ceremony. James Stewart’s lead role was at least expected to earn him the Best Actor title, which ended up in the hands of Fredric March for The Best Years of Our Lives.
