And the award DOESN’T go to! Benedict Cumberbatch, Kirsten Dunst and Diane Warren fail to hide their disappointment as they miss out at Oscars
The 94th annual Academy Awards ceremony saw an array of stars take home much-deserved accolades but some A-listers seemed less than impressed after missing out on awards.
Benedict Cumberbatch, Kirsten Dunst, Diane Warren, and Kodi Smit-Mcphee looked disappointed after they missed out on accolades in the Best Actor, Best Supporting Actress, Best Original Song and Best Supporting Actor categories.
Benedict, who was nominated for his performance in The Power of the Dog, looked deflated as Will Smith was announced as the winner of the Best Actor gong for his performance as Richard Williams, the determined father who raised tennis champions Venus and Serena Williams, in King Richard.

His reaction came after Will stormed on to the Oscars stage and slapped Chris Rock after he made a joke about his wife Jada Pinkett-Smith, with the Hollywood star now facing calls to be stripped of the award after his actions.
As well as Benedict, Will beat out Javier Bardem – Being the Ricardos, Andrew Garfield – tick, tick… BOOM!, and Denzel Washington – The Tragedy of Macbeth, to seize the accolade.
His co-star Kirsten Dunst was also seen looking disappointed as she gave a polite smile after missing out on winning the Best Supporting Actress accolade.
Kirsten was up against Jessie Buckley for The Lost Daughter, Ariana DeBose for West Side Story, Judi Dench for Belfast and Aunjanue Ellis for King Richard, but it was Ariana who won the award.

Winner! Kirsten was up against Jessie Buckley, Ariana DeBose, Judi Dench and Aunjanue Ellis, but it was Ariana who won the award for West Side Story
Diane Warren looked stunned after Billie Eilish snapped up the Best Original Song award, while she missed out for her track Somehow You Do, written for Four Good Days.
Instead, it was Billie Eilish who snapped up the award for her Bond soundtrack No Time to Die, also beating the likes of Beyonce, Van Morrison and Diane Warren.
In the same category, Lin-Manuel Miranda missed out on the coveted and rare EGOT status – winning an Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony award – as he failed to win Best Original Song for his track Dos Oruguitas, written for Disney’s Encanto.
And Power Of The Dog’s Kodi Smit-Mcphee appeared disappointed as he gave a slight smile when Troy Kotsur won the Best Supporting actor accolade.
Troy Kotsur became the first ever deaf male actor to earn an acting Oscar 35 years after his co-star Marlee Matlin made history as she became the first ever deaf actress to win an Oscar in 1987.

Oh no! Power Of The Dog’s Kodi Smit-Mcphee appeared disappointed as he gave a slight smile when Troy Kotsur won the Best Supporting actor accolade
As well as Kodi, he beat out heavy competition including: Ciaran Hinds – Belfast, Jesse Plemons – The Power Of The Dog, J.K Simmons – Being The Ricardos.
In other snubs, Netflix’s Power Of The Dog led nominations with 12 nods – including the highest honour of Best Picture – but only snapped up one win.
Jane Campion became the third woman to earn the Best Director nod and the first woman to ever be nominated twice in the category, after she previously earned a nod for 1993′s The Piano.
Last year, Chloé Zhao became the second woman to ever win the award. Campion’s director of photography, Ari Wegner, also became the second woman ever nominated for Best Cinematography.
But other than Campion’s record-making victory, Power Of The Dog failed to take home any other awards, despite its host of nominations.

Elsewhere, the ceremony saw Jessica Chastain win her first Best Actress trophy and CODA make history as the first ever streaming film to earn Best Picture.
But Will Smith has no doubt become the most talked about moment of The Oscars California after being held at Union Station last year, after his Best actor victory was marred following a physical altercation with Chris Rock.
The Oscars, which returned to its regular venue of the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood, California after being held at Union Station last year, was hosted by a trio of stars in Regina Hall, Amy Schumer and Wanda Sykes.
After going without a host over the last three years, the three women made history as it was the first time there was an all-female host line-up.

Well done! Jane Campion became the third woman to earn the Best Director nod and the first woman to ever be nominated twice in the category
Will Smith snapped up the award for his portrayal of Richard Williams, the determined father who raised tennis champions Venus and Serena Williams, in King Richard.
But the win was overshadowed as the actor, 53, earlier stormed on to the Oscars stage and slapped presenter Chris Rock for making a joke about his wife Jada Pinkett Smith’s haircut.
Stand-up comedian Chris upset Will when he compared his wife’s hair to that of G. I. Jane’s, who has a shaved head. Pinkett Smith suffers from hair loss condition alopecia.
After Will strode out on stage and slapped Chris with an open right hand, the comedian staggered and exclaimed ‘wow, Will Smith just smacked the s**t out of me.’
Will, visibly emotional, walked back to his seat in the audience and shouted: ‘Keep my wife’s name out of your f***ing mouth.’

The exchange was muted on a delayed telecast in much of the US, but was aired in full to some international audiences.
Will was still allowed to make his acceptance speech and, with tears streaming down his face, he appeared to defend hitting Chris because he said he wanted to protect his family.
‘Love makes you do crazy things’, the rapper admitted as he accepted his Best Actor Oscar statuette.
He added that being a Hollywood star means you should be able to ‘have people disrespecting you and that ‘you just gotta smile and pretend it’s ok,’ he said.
But he added that he admired Richard Williams who ‘was a fierce defender of his family.’
‘I’m being called on in my life to love people and to protect people and to be a river to my people,’ he explained.

Will went on to issue a tearful partial apology for his emotional outburst, but did not apologize to Chris.
‘I want to apologize to the Academy, I want to apologize to all my fellow nominees. This is a beautiful moment,’ he said.
‘Art imitates life. I look like the crazy father.’
Late on Sunday, the LAPD issued a statement saying that Chris had not filed a police report against Will, but that if he chooses to do so, police will investigate.
The jam-packed awards night also saw Jessica Chastain finally earned her first Academy Award in the Best Actress category for her work in The Eyes Of Tammy Faye.
The 45-year-old veteran actress achieved the honor over Olivia Colman – The Lost Daughter, Penélope Cruz – Parallel Mothers, Nicole Kidman – Being the Ricardos, and Kristen Stewart – Spencer.
Incredible! Troy Kotsur became the first ever deaf male actor to earn an acting Oscar 35 years after his co-star Marlee Matlin made history as she the first ever deaf actress to win an Oscar
The biographical film she starred in was an intimate look at the extraordinary rise, fall and redemption of televangelist Tammy Faye Bakker as she played the titular role.
Coda – which also won all three awards it was nominated for – also made history as it became the first ever film from a streaming service to win highest honor Best Picture, which was a massive win for AppleTV+.
It was victorious over Belfast (Focus Features), Don’t Look Up (Netflix), Drive My Car (Janus Films/Sideshow), Dune (Warner Bros), King Richard (Warner Bros), Licorice Pizza (MGM/United Artists Releasing), Nightmare Alley (Searchlight Pictures), The Power Of The Dog (Netflix), and West Side Story (20th Century Studios).
The film is centered around a CODA (Child of Deaf Adults) named Ruby (played by Emilia Jones) who is the only hearing person in her deaf family. When the family’s fishing business is threatened, Ruby finds herself torn between pursuing her love of music by wanting to go to Berklee College of Music and her fear of abandoning her parents.
Congratulations! The jam-packed awards night also saw Jessica Chastain finally earned her first Academy Award in the Best Actress category for her work in The Eyes Of Tammy Faye
It was a major night for the movie as it earned all three of the categories it was nominated as the drama also won Best Supporting Actor and Best Adapted Screenplay.
Later on in the evening, Sian Heder earned Best Adapted screenplay for the film as she won over Drive My Car (Ryusuke Hamaguchi & Takamasa Oe), Dune (Eric Roth, Jon Spaihts & Denis Villeneuve), The Lost Daughter (Maggie Gyllenhaal), and The Power of the Dog (Jane Campion).
Netflix’s Power Of The Dog led nominations with 12 nods including Best Picture, Best Director and recognition for all of its top actors: Benedict Cumberbatch, Kirsten Dunst, Jesse Plemons and Kodi Smit-McPhee.
Dune followed closely behind with 10 nominations spread out largely in the technical categories that rewarded the gargantuan craft of Villeneuve’s adaptation of Frank Herbert’s 1965 novel, yet unexpectedly bypassed Villeneuve’s direction.
The Warner Bros. release debuted simultaneously in theaters and — against the strenuous objections of its director — on HBO Max.
Dune incredibly snapped up the gongs for Cinematography, Achievement in Sound, Production Design, Visual Effects, Best Soundtrack, Film Editing and Original Score.
Elsewhere, Rachel Zegler attended the ceremony after a controversy saw her not being invited to the ceremony despite her film being nominated for seven awards.
Zegler, 20, created a bit of a firestorm on social media as she revealed over the weekend that she will not be in attendance at The Oscars despite being the lead – Maria Vasquez – for the Steven Spielberg directed flick.
She previously said on Instagram that she tried to go but ‘it doesn’t seem to be happening’ and that she will be rooting for West Side Story from her couch.

‘I hope some last minute miracle occurs and I can celebrate our film in person but hey, that’s how it goes sometimes, I guess,’ Zegler continued on Instagram. ‘Thanks for all the shock and outrage – I’m disappointed, too. But that’s OK. So proud of our movie.’
Also performing at the Oscars was an all-star band including Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker, and DJ D-Nice.
Elsewhere, A-list presenters took to the stage including Bill Murray, Lady Gaga, Kevin Costner, Samuel L. Jackson, Zoë Kravitz, Lupita Nyong’o. Anthony Hopkins, Lily James, Daniel Kaluuya, and Mila Kunis.
The Oscars, which returned to its regular venue of the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood, California after being held at Union Station last year, was hosted by a trio of stars in Regina Hall, Amy Schumer and Wanda Sykes.
