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.

Actor Aamir Khan is readying to finally marry his longtime partner, Gauri Spratt, in a private ceremony on July 5. Unlike other high-profile Bollywood weddings, the couple is expected to celebrate the occasion with close family members and a handful of friends, choosing a simple gathering over a lavish event. 

The reported wedding has attracted widespread attention from fans and the film industry, with many taking to social media to congratulate the couple. While neither Aamir nor Gauri has shared extensive details about the ceremony, reports suggest the celebrations will remain intimate and focused on family.

The actor was first married to Reena Dutta, and they have two children together. In 2005, Aamir married filmmaker Kiran Rao. The couple announced their separation in 2021 but have continued to maintain a friendly relationship and jointly raise their son while working together on select projects.

Gauri Spratt has largely stayed away from the limelight. Despite growing public interest in their relationship, she has preferred to keep her personal life private. Reports indicate that Gauri and Aamir have known each other for several years before deciding to take the next step in their relationship.

Known for balancing a successful film career with a private personal life, Aamir Khan has often avoided discussing family matters in public. His reported decision to opt for a low-key wedding is in line with his long-standing preference for privacy. 

As news of the upcoming ceremony continues  to make headlines, fans are eagerly waiting for an official glimpse of the celebrations. Whether through a family photograph or a public statement, many hope to see the couple share the joyful occasion with their well-wishers.

With this wedding, Aamir Khan appears ready to embrace a new phase in his life while continuing to focus on both his personal happiness and his significant contribution to Indian cinema.
