2022 Oscars: 6 Awards They Got Right (And 6 Awards They Royally Screwed Up)

Beat: Jessie Buckley (The Lost Daughter), Judi Dench (Belfast), Kirsten Dunst (The Power of the Dog) and Aunjanue Ellis (King Richard).

Sure, sure, this was a predictable win but sometimes, things are predictable for a reason.

As much as Rachel Zegler being snubbed for Best Actress still stings, it was absolutely lovely to see Ariana DeBose get the Oscar she deserved for her stunning performance as Anita in Steven Spielberg's brilliant West Side Story remake. Anita was, of course, the role that nabbed her co-star Rita Moreno (who was in the audience to see DeBose's win) the same Oscar all those decades ago.

It was a good line-up this year and all five of the nominees gave strong performances (even if, regarding Belfast and King Richard, Caitriona Balfe and Saniyya Sidney deserved the nominations more than Judi Dench or Aunjanue Ellis respectively), but DeBose was the best of the lot.

Thanks to the actress' amazing singing and dancing as well as the huge emotional range she delivered on-screen, the Oscar going to anyone else would've felt just wrong and DeBose gave a great speech too.
