The long-awaited Oscar Awards gala will take place on March 28a most notable event that in 2022 reaches its 94th edition. The first was held in May 1929 at the Roosevelt Hotel in Los Angeles commemorating the achievements of 1927 and 1928. On that occasion won in the categories of best actor and best actress Emil Jannings for ‘The Last Order’ and Janet Gaynorfor his roles in ‘The Seventh Heaven’, ‘The Fallen Angel’ and ‘Amanecer’.
Since then there have been many candidates who have attended the most important awards in the film industry dreaming of lifting the coveted statuette. The man who has achieved it the most times in all of history has been Daniel Day-Lewis, who has three in the category of best actor in six nominations. The same ones Frances McDormand has after her victory last year, although in the female category she is surpassed by a legendary actress: Katharine Hepburn, with four.
This year two Spanish actors, who are also a couple, compete in both categories. Javier Bardem comes with his third nomination for best actor with ‘Being The Ricardos’, although you already know what it’s like to win the Oscar for best supporting actor for ‘No Country for Old Men’. In the same way that Penélope Cruz, candidate again for best actress after her nomination in 2006 for ‘Back’. This time she does it with ‘Parallel Mothers’, with which she will try to win the second Oscar of her career after the one she won in 2008 as a supporting actress in ‘Vicky Cristina Barcelona’.
