The heartwarming movie ‘CODA’, about a deaf family with a hearing daughter, won the prestigious best picture prize at the Oscars on Sunday, the first time a streaming service took home the film industry’s biggest prize.
‘CODA’ was released by Apple TV+, which beat Netflix Inc’s contender ‘The Power of the Dog’ and other entries from traditional Hollywood studios.
“I really want to thank the academy for recognizing a movie of love and family at this difficult time that we need today,” producer Patrick Wachsberger said in front of the film’s cast stood on stage.
Hollywood’s most prestigious awards ceremony returned to all-out glitz at the Dolby Theatre after pandemic restrictions limited the event last year.
