The 94th Academy Awards commenced on Sunday off-camera, with the first eight awards on the night being handed out at the Dolby Theatre before the start of the broadcast.
The Dolby was packed for the 7 p.m. EDT pre-show, dubbed the ‘golden hour’ by the academy. Presenters Jason Momoa and Josh Brolin announced the winners, whose speeches will be edited into the broadcast beginning at 8 p.m.
‘Dune’ was the film which went on to receive the first award for the best sound. It was likely to be the first of several awards for Denis Villeneuve's science-fiction epic, which is favoured to win in many of the technical categories.
