'CODA' has been named best picture, beating out the likes of 'Belfast,' 'Drive My Car' and 'Power of the Dog' at the 2022 Academy Awards. It's a historic win for a film that brings Deaf culture, and Deaf actors, to the forefront.
The film earned three of Apple TV+'s six Oscar nominations, and won each one: best picture, best adapted screenplay for Sian Heder, and best supporting actor for Troy Kotsur, who joins his co-star Marlee Matlin as the only Deaf actors ever win Oscars for acting.Streaming studios have been building momentum in the years since Amazon Studio'smade waves in 2017 with the first nomination for best picture for a streaming studio.
While Oscar voters have been hesitant to accept streaming services into the fold, the growing number of honors garnered by these studios may reflect a new stage in the movie industry – one no longer reliant on brick-and-mortar theaters.
