The night of the Oscar Awards is not limited to the red carpet and the delivery of statuettes to the best of cinema, a large part of its appeal is the unique moments that are lived among its artists. We bring you a recount of the best moments of the 94th edition.

#1 The live presentation of ‘Dos Oruguitas’ by Sebastián Yatra

In addition to becoming one of the audience’s favorites, ‘Encanto’ won the award for Best Animated Film, so it is not surprising that one of the songs on its ‘soundtrack’ livened up the night.
