The Academy Awards returned for the 94th edition as the top films from the last year were honoured by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.

Actresses Regina Hall, Amy Schumer, and Wanda Sykes hosted the award ceremony held at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood.

Among other firsts, it was the first time the show was hosted by multiple personalities since Anne Hathaway and James Franco co-hosted the 83rd edition in 2011.

Another innovation intended to lure back viewers to the Oscars was two prizes voted on by the public via Twitter, including a “fan favourite” film.
