The Oscars have not had a host for a long time, and this year's Oscars 2022 memorable moment was that they did not have one, but they did have three female hosts! (women's empowerment right here) and the three of them were Amy Schumer, Regina Hall, and Wanda Sykes, and they did not disappoint, putting smiles on our faces and handling each and every situation extremely well (yes, I'm referring to the Will Smith fiasco).
Queen B!
Queen B opened the Oscars 2022 with "Be Alive," King Richard's Oscar-nominated song. Can we talk about how Beyonce has set such a high bar? Thanks to her attention to detail, the entire set, as well as the performers, were dressed in bright yellow, the signature color of tennis balls. We all noticed and appreciated how she honored the Williams family in her performance, including every singer and dancer wearing Venus' signature braids with white hair beads. It was flawless in every way!

Okay, this has brought tears to my eyes! With his win for best supporting actor in Coda, Troy Kotsur became the first deaf actor to win an Oscar. When presenter Youn Yuh-Jung signed his name, you can see how happy he was. During his speech, he shared a heartbreaking story about his father becoming paralyzed in a car accident, making him unable to communicate using sign language. "This is dedicated to the deaf community, the CODA community, and the disabled community," he said in his speech, "This is our moment," a moment that we will all remember from the Oscars in 2022 for sure!

I honestly thought it was staged and had to ask if what I saw was real or not! It all started when Chris Rock mocked Will Smith's wife, Jada-Pett Smith, for getting her hair buzz cut, despite the fact that she suffers from alopecia (a condition that leads to hair loss). This offended the Smiths' family, so Will Smith got up from his seat, walked up to Rock onstage, and slapped him live on television!! Later in the evening, when Amy Schumer got the microphone, she said, "There's like a different vibe here." Amy tried to lighten the mood with a joke, but I'm not sure if it worked. The question is, what would you do if you were in Will's situation?

As the nominees began to appear on the screen, Gaga leaned down and said, "I got you." It felt unscripted, but in the cutest possible way!
