The 94th Academy Awards kick off Sunday evening at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, and there are no arguments when it is said that the Oscars is Hollywood’s biggest event. With that, we would add that to whom much is given, greater is expected. As the Oscars 2022 is the biggest event in Hollywood, the red carpet should hold up to the same acclaim.
