The 94th annual Academy Awards ceremony proved to be surprising in many ways. The most talked about moment from this year’s Oscars on social media at the moment is Chris Rock’s distasteful joke about Will Smith’s wife, which resulted in Smith getting up from his seat and punching Rock in the face.
But some of the ceremony’s biggest surprises had to do with the awards themselves. CODA won Best Picture, the first film distributed on a streaming service (Apple TV+) to win this award. CODA’s Troy Kotsur won Best Supporting Actor, becoming the first ever deaf man to win an acting Oscar. CODA is also the first film featuring predominantly deaf actors to win Best Picture. Meanwhile, Dune got the most awards, winning six, including Best Visual Effects, Best Film Editing and Best Sound.
