“CODA” won the best picture Oscar at the 94th Academy Awards, making Apple TV+ the first streaming service to win film’s highest honor and capping a night of surprises.
LOS ANGELES — After a movie year often light on crowds, the Academy Awards named an unabashed crowd-pleaser, the deaf family drama “CODA,” best picture Sunday, handing Hollywood’s top award to a streaming service for the first time.
The victory capped dramatic night at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, where Will Smith won best actor for “King Richard” and Jessica Chastain won best actress for “The Eyes of Tammy Faye.” The ceremony was hosted by Regina Hall, Amy Schumer and Wanda Sykes and broadcast via ABC. The moment shocked the Dolby Theatre audience and viewers at home. The broadcast on ABC and streaming paused and went silent momentarily, leaving viewers wondering what had happened. At the commercial break, presenter Daniel Kaluuya came up to hug Smith, and Denzel Washington escorted him to the side of the stage. The two talked and hugged and Tyler Perry came over to talk as well.
Williams shared what Washington told him: “At your highest moment, be careful because that’s when the devil comes for you.” After record-low ratings and a pandemic-marred 2021 show, producers this year turned to one of the biggest stars around — Beyoncé — to kick off an Oscars intended to revive the awards’ place in pop culture. After an introduction from Venus and Serena Williams, Beyoncé performed her “King Richard” nominated song, “Be Alive,” in an elaborately choreographed performance from a lime-colored, open-air stage in Compton, where the Williams sisters grew up.
Later, Kotsur became the first male deaf actor to ever win an acting Oscar, and joined his “CODA” costar Marlee Matlin at the only deaf actors to win an Academy Award. He received a standing ovation while many in the Dolby gave the Deaf clap, waving both hands in the air.
