Nicole Kidman was honored with the best actress in a drama category for her role in "Being the Ricardos," while Will Smith took home another coveted statue for best actor in the category for his performance in "King Richard."

"West Side Story" dominated the musical or comedy category. The musical film, directed by three-time Oscar winner Steven Spielberg, won best picture in the category, in addition to best actress in a musical or comedy for Rachel Zegler, and best supporting actress in any motion picture for Ariana DeBose.

Andrew Garfield nabbed the award for best actor in a musical or comedy for "Tick, Tick... Boom!"
