The 92nd annual Academy Awards is one to remember. Celebrities use their platform to help support causes that are close to their hearts. This came in the form of both their outfits and their speeches. This year’s Oscars also included movie history being made, amazing musical performances, and some of the best films being nominated.

Best Dressed: Natalie Portman

Portman topped her elegant black and gold sheer dress with a meaningful embroider on her Dior cape. The stitching on the trim were names of female directors that weren’t nominated for an Oscar this year, helping to recognize their outstanding work in a subtle way. Names which include Wang, Gerwig, Heller, Matsoukas, Har’el, Sciamma, and Diop.

Best Dressed: Billy Porter

Porter is known for having elaborate outfits, and this year’s gown didn’t disappoint. Designed by Giles Deacon, the 24k gold feathered top, skirt inspired by Kensington Palace, and Jimmy Choo high heels, broke all gender stereotypes.

Best Speech: Joaquin Phoenix

A moment that took over the internet, Phoenix accepts his first Oscar by speaking out on injustices such as fighting for animal rights, LGBTQ+ rights, Indigenous rights, equality, and looking for change in our world. He suggests that if humans are able to come together and listen to each other’s beliefs, we can implement changes that are better for all species and the environment. He ends his speech with a lyric from his late brother, River Phoenix, “Run into with love and peace will follow.”

Best Performance: Eminem

Eminem does a surprise performance of his song, “Lose Yourself.” The Dolby Theatre was even put under lockdown for his rehearsals so his performance would remain a secret. He had the entire audience shocked, and also singing along with him, making it one of the best performances that night.
