Award season in cinema is my favourite time of the year as I get to see some of the most amazing work done the previous year finally get the recognition it deserves. This morning I woke up to the 94th Academy Awards, and I must say while there were some much-deserved and obvious wins, there were some pleasant surprises as well. And what accompanied was some high-octane drama too. Let’s take a recap at who won what.
