Apple made history at the Oscars on Sunday night when AppleTV+ became the first streaming service to win Best Picture.
The tech giant won the award for CODA, a coming-of-age movie about a clash between ambition and loyalty, in this case a young woman’s struggle between pursuing her passion for singing or staying home to help her deaf family members run a new business.
Apple CEO Tim Cook hit Twitter to celebrate the win, describing CODA as “a profoundly beautiful movie, a story of hope and heart that celebrates our differences.” CODA, directed by Sian Heder and featuring Emilia Jones, Marlee Martin, Daniel Durant, and Kotsur, also won the Oscar for Best Adapted Screenplay.
