Oscars 2022

94th Academy Awards have hit the floor and it was the first in four years to have an official host, and that too the all-female trio Amy Schumer, Regina Hall, and Wanda Sykes, which created the record in Oscars history.

If you think the Oscars is all about just awards, you are wrong! Well! Oscars 2022 is giving us fodder. From Will Smith slapping Chris Rock at the stage to host and comedian Wanda Sykes’ jab at Florida’s so-called Don’t Say Gay bill to Amy Schumer roasting Leonardo DiCaprio, here are the funniest and unmissable moments from Oscars 2022.

Will Smith slaps Chris Rock

Will Smith has not only won the best actor award but has also given us a hilarious moment from 94th Academy Awards. Will Smith stormed the stage and slapped presenter Chris Rock in the face when he remarked that Jada Pinkett Smith’s shaved head reminded him of G.I. Jane 2.

Rock began roasting audience members before presenting the award for documentary feature. His remark about Pinkett Smith, on the other hand, was extremely personal, referring to her well-documented battle with the autoimmune disorder alopecia, which can result in hair loss. Her husband Smith was enraged by the joke and slapped Rock.

Amy Schumer roasts Leonardo DiCaprio

Later, Amy Schumer turned an introduction piece into a full-fledged solo act. Don’t Look Up is nominated, yes! Yep, I guess the Academy members don’t look up reviews!  she joked, before unleashing a humorous attack on one of the film’s actors. Targetting Leonardo DiCaprio, Amy said, what can I even say about him? He’s done so much to fight climate change and leave behind a cleaner, greener planet for his girlfriends.

Wanda Sykes’ jab at Florida’s so-called Don’t Say Gay bill

The first political volley of the Academy Awards in Los Angeles came in the opening monologue, when Wanda Sykes, one of the three hosts, took a barely concealed dig at Florida’s so-called Don’t Say Gay bill, which was enacted by a Republican-controlled state legislature earlier this month.

We’re going to have a great night tonight, said Sykes, who is gay. And we’re going to have a gay night for you people in Florida.
Many in the audience, including Denzel Washington and Nicole Kidman, smiled and cheered with joy as she and fellow hosts Amy Schumer and Regina Hall repeated the word gay multiple times.

Regina Hall on Covid tests has been lost

Then it was Hall’s chance to raise the physical humour up a notch when she revealed that a few Covid tests had gone missing. She asked Bradley Cooper, Timotheé Chalamet, Tyler Perry, Simu Liuto, and Jacob Elordi to accompany her backstage for a strip search before unleashing an unplanned Covid pat-down on host Josh Brolin.

Troy Kotsur makes history

Troy Kotsur became the first deaf man to win an Oscar. He won the award for the best supporting role in Coda. This is dedicated to the deaf community, the Coda community, and the disabled community, he said in his speech. This is our moment, he added.

The Sabarmati Report: PM Modi praises film based on Godhra train burning incident, says truth coming out

The Prime Minister’s remarks came in response to an X user who had shared a video of the film’s trailer, which was released on Friday.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday praised the film ‘The Sabarmati Report’, based on 2002 Godhra train incident, saying the truth is coming to out.

He expressed his thoughts on social media platform X, saying, “Well said. It is good that this truth is emerging, especially in a manner accessible to the general public. A deceptive narrative can only last for so long. Ultimately, the facts will prevail!”

The Prime Minister’s remarks came in response to an X user who had shared a video of the film’s trailer, which was released on Friday.

‘The Sabarmati Report’ focuses on the tragic incident involving the burning of the S-6 coach of the Sabarmati Express near Godhra station in Gujarat on February 27, 2002, resulting in the deaths of 59 Hindu pilgrims returning from Ayodhya. This event ignited widespread riots in Gujarat that year.

Directed by Dheeraj Sarna, the film is produced by Shobha Kapoor, Ektaa R Kapoor, Amul V Mohan, and Anshul Mohan, and features actors Vikrant Massey, Raashii Khanna, and Ridhi Dogra.

In response to PM Modi’s commendation, producer Ekta Kapoor expressed her gratitude, highlighting that his praise provided a significant morale boost for the film’s team. Resharing the Prime Minister’s post, she wrote in Hindi on X: “Respected Prime Minister, thank you very much for your encouraging words about #TheSabarmatiReport. They have invigorated our spirits. Your recognition of #TheSabarmatiReport confirms that we are on the right path. Thank you for your love and support.”

This is not the first instance of PM Modi praising a film. In 2022, he lauded Vivek Agnihotri’s ‘The Kashmir Files’. He stated, “History must be conveyed in the correct context. Books, poetry, literature, and films all play a crucial role in this. You’ve likely heard the discussions surrounding ‘The Kashmir Files’; it has certainly ruffled the feathers of those who champion freedom of expression.” The film depicts the 1990 exodus of Kashmiri Pandits from the Valley and features Anupam Kher, Pallavi Joshi, Mithun Chakraborty, Darshan Kumar, among others.

The trailer has been released in various languages, with notable personalities such as Nani promoting it in Telugu, Tovino Thomas in Malayalam, Shiva Rajkumar in Kannada, and Aamir Khan in Hindi.

Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin on Thursday lauded the team of Amaran including film starrer Sai Pallavi and Sivakarthikeyan as well as director Rajkumar Periasamy for capturing the bravery and dedication of Tamil Nadu army veteran Major Mukund Varadarajan in his film.

The Tamil Nadu Chief Minister said that he watched the film at the invitation of veteran actor Kamal Haasan

“I watched a movie yesterday #amrnnn after accepting the invitation of my artist friend @ikamalhaasan. It’s great to bring true stories to today’s youth in the form of books – as well as movies! Director @Rajkumar_KP, Major Mukund Varadarajan – Tirumiku has emotionally captured the bravery and dedication of Tamil Nadu army veteran Major Mukund Varadarajan. My congratulations to all the crew of Thambi @Siva_Kartikeyan, @Sai_Pallavi92 and #Amaran for portraying the roles of Indu Rebecca Varghese very well! Big Salute to our soldiers who protect the country – Major Mukund Varadarajan who lives in our memory! @RKFI @gvprakash,” Stalin posted on X.

Recently, the creators of Amaran released the film’s trailer, featuring Sivakarthikeyan in the titular role of Major Mukund Varadarajan. The film narrates the compelling story of the decorated soldier who commanded the Indian Army’s 44 Rashtriya Rifles Cheetah Company and made the ultimate sacrifice for his country. Sai Pallavi joins the cast as well, and the film is premiering today.

The trailer opens with a striking statement from an officer to Major Mukund: “You do not choose 44 RR; 44 RR chooses you,” effectively setting the tone for the heroism depicted in the film. It offers glimpses into Major Mukund’s personal life, showcasing his family’s reaction to his choice to join the military and the love story he shares with Indhu, portrayed by Sai Pallavi.

Intense action sequences illustrate Major Mukund, as played by Sivakarthikeyan, in battle, where he resolutely declines a retreat order from his superior, asserting, “I’ll save every life I can and come back, sir.” Indhu expresses her pride, stating, “I am proud of him being an army officer and me being an army wife.” A poignant moment captures Sivakarthikeyan’s character stating, “This is the face of the Indian army,” highlighting his unwavering determination.

Kamal Haasan, one of the film’s producers, shared the trailer on social media, stating, “Leaders seldom choose a trodden path. They create one where there is none and blaze a new trail. #MajorMukundVaradarajan of Tamil Nadu is one such leader. We take pride in telling his story.”

Inspired by the true events chronicled in Shiv Aroor and Rahul Singh’s book “India’s Most Fearless”, Amaran serves as a tribute to a genuine hero. The trailer has been released in various languages, with notable personalities such as Nani promoting it in Telugu, Tovino Thomas in Malayalam, Shiva Rajkumar in Kannada, and Aamir Khan in Hindi.

The trailer concludes on an emotional note, featuring Major Mukund’s daughter asking Indhu, “You told me appa will come for my birthday, will he come?”

Directed by Rajkumar Periasamy and produced by the iconic Kamal Haasan, alongside R. Mahendran and Sony Pictures International Productions, Amaran poignantly tells the story of Major Mukund Varadarajan and his wife Indhu, encapsulating their journey of love, sacrifice, and the profound personal losses encountered during Major Varadarajan’s heroic service to the nation.
