Jessica Chastain said, “I just want you to know that you’re unconditionally loved for the uniqueness that is you,” after winning Best Actress.
The 2022 Oscars are over after some ups and downs. The night that was supposed to be remembered as the best night is now remembered for its drama, followed by many firsts, including Apple TV + winning best picture. Will Smith slapped Chris Rock for making a low joke about his wife. Although he later apologized for the same on his Instagram post, saying “I would publicly like to apologize 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. There is no place for violence in a world of love and kindness.”
There were some memorable moments too, which made the night better despite all the unpleasant moments. Billie Eilish nailed it with her performance of “No Time to Die” with her brother Finneas. She took home the Best Song Award. “The Power of the Dog” may have lost the Best Picture Award but won the Best ‘Directing’ Oscar Award.
Jessica Chastain used the acceptance speech to address critical societal issues from the mental health crisis to suicide prevention — particularly among the LGBTQIA+ community. “Right now we’re coming out of some difficult times filled with a lot of trauma and isolation, and so many people out there feel hopelessness and they feel alone, and suicide is a leading cause of death in the United States. It’s touched many families, it’s touched mine, especially members of the LGBTQ community who often feel out of place with their peers.”
Will Smith cried during his acceptance speech for Best Actor. It was the first time Smith won an Oscar award. He spoke about the familiarity between him and his character. He said “I want to say thank you to Venus and Serena and the entire Williams family for entrusting me with your
story. That’s what I want to do. I want to be an ambassador of that kind of love and care and concern. I want to apologize to the Academy, I want to apologize to all my fellow nominees. This is a beautiful moment and I’m not crying for winning an award. It’s not about winning an award for me. It’s about being able to shine a light on all the people. Tim and Trevor and Zach and Saniyya and Demi and Aunjunue and the entire cast and crew of “King Richard” and Venus and Serena and the entire Williams family.”
