‘And The Oscar Goes To…’

The Academy Awards, better known as the Oscars, are one of the most anticipated awards in the global entertainment industry. Actors, actresses and production teams across different film genres gather in their tailored suits and dazzling dresses to be acknowledged for their work.

Just when we thought we’d seen enough violence on Social Media (remember the inaugural slap), Will and Chris happened at the 2022 Oscars.

As sketchy as the circumstances surrounding the Will Smith and Chris Rock altercation are, if you ever attend an Oscars award ceremony, here is a list of five things you should anticipate to be served:

 

1. An Award

Winning an Oscar is every actor or actress’ dream and this is because such a win can change the trajectory of an actor’s career. 

If the stars align in your favor, you just might be lucky and leave with that coveted iron man trophy. I suggest you meet one time Oscar winner, Jennifer Lawrence, for tips.

2. Disappointment

Just being recognized and nominated for an Oscar is a big win, so even before the award ceremony every Oscar nominee is a winner. 

Sadly, at the end of the night not everyone goes home with an Oscar. Some leave in tears. At least they tried.

 

 

3. Outfit Inspiration

Every year, the Oscars’ Red Carpet proves to be the base of all things Glitz and Glam.

Regardless of who receives an Oscar and who doesn’t, at least every Oscar attendee can boast of stealing some red carpet looks to update their drip.

4. A Dirty Slap

The Oscars may be a formal affair but the saying ‘if you do anyhow you go see anyhow ’ stands true. Literally.

Unfortunately, Chris Rock learnt this one the hard way after Will Smith struck him in the face for making a joke about his wife’s hairstyle.

We definitely picked up a couple of tips from Lupita on the art of minding one’s business.
