Here's Everything You Missed If You 100% Forgot That The 2022 Oscars Were On

1.Some of Hollywood's brightest stars turned it out on the red carpet! Like Simu Liu rockin' this red ensemble:

And Megan Thee Stallion lookin' beautiful in blue:

2.There were also plenty of stunning couples there to make you believe in love again (or at least believe in the power of coordinating outfits). Javier Bardem and Penélope Cruz looked regal in their matching all black:

3.Beyoncé opened the show with a performance of her nominated song, "Be Alive," from King Richard.

5.The trio started in right away with the jokes, taking aim at the Academy, as well as pretty much all of the actors and films nominated.

6.While many awards were given off camera, the first award aired on the show was Best Supporting Actress, which went to Ariana DeBose for her role in West Side Story. This also marked the second time an actor had won for this exact role — the first, of course, being EGOT and fellow legend living among us Rita Moreno.
