Feel-good family drama ‘CODA’ won best picture honours at the 94th Annual Academy Awards on Sunday, the first-ever triumph for a streaming platform. The film was applauded for its inclusivity of the deaf community, a love for music and its coming-of-age wonder. It won in all three categories it was nominated in. Deaf actor Troy Kotsur, who played the father in the film, took home the Best Supporting Actor Award, while director Sian Heder bagged the Best Adapted Screenplay Oscar. Denis Villeneuve’s sci-fi epic ‘Dune’, although not nominted in the Best Director category, swept the Oscars night with the most number of wins at six.
