OSCARS 22....THE NIGHT 🌃 OF STYLE AND GLITTER.

By Chandrayee Roy Choudhury, Canada- Hollywood's biggest night kicked off with a carousel of top-tier celebrity style. 

The theme of this year's 94th Academy Awards is "movie lovers unite," a reference to the "deep existential crisis" currently facing the film industry and exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic, according to the Los Angeles Times. The Oscars are trying to make a comeback after a years-long ratings decline, including last year's all-time low in viewership.

In a bid to pique audience interest, this year's show is hosted by unlikely trio Amy Schumer, Regina Hall and Wanda Sykes at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles. 

Many celebrities are wearing blue-and-yellow accessories to show support for Ukraine as it endures an ongoing Russian invasion — some guests have pinned a blue ribbon from the United Nations Human Rights Committee, reading "with refugees," to their gowns and lapels.
