94th Academy Awards

The 94th Academy Awards ceremony took place on March 27 at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles. Hosted by Regina Hall, Amy Schumer and Wanda Sykes, the event was overshadowed by a slap heard and seen around the world. That did not, however, prevent attendees from enjoying what is traditionally Hollywood’s biggest night. Here are some of the Courier’s top photo selections from the evening.
