'CODA' Makes Apple TV+ The First Streaming Service to Win Best Picture!
Apple TV+ has been a dark horse in the streaming service world. It has flown under the radar, but in its quiet way, it has generated exclusively excellent content. That was proven ten-fold during Sunday night's Oscar Awards when CODA won for best picture.
This was both a well-deserved win for the picture and a validating win for the streaming service. With this award, Apple TV+ has become the first streaming service ever to produce an Academy award-winning movie.
CODA took home the prestigious award for Best Picture at Sunday Night's Oscars. The film chronicles the story of Ruby, who is seventeen years old, and the only member of her family who can hear. In this brilliant coming of age story, she discovers her love of singing through her participation in her school's choir.
The speech when the company honored with this award was beautifully moving.
The film also won the award for Best Adapted Screenplay, and actor Troy Kotsur won for Best Supporting Actor.
These well-earned wins on this sensational movie not only honor an excellent film but serve as an incredibly important moment for the hearing-impaired community.
Apple TV+ is not just making good content. They are creating important and meaningful content. The heart behind their work is a large part of the reason they are finding so much success.
