During Sunday's 94th Academy Awards, Apple TV+ was represented by a pair of films that were nominated for a total of six awards, with "CODA" alongside "The Tragedy of Macbeth" for three categories apiece.
The film is a landmark winner in a number of ways, including being the first Best Picture nomination for Apple TV+. It is also the first movie featuring a predominantly deaf cast to be honored in the category and the first movie from a streaming service to win the award.
Troy Kotsur, who played father "Frank Rossi" in "CODA," won his category of Best Actor in a Supporting Role, following earlier accolades at the BAFTAs and other ceremonies. Kotsur also made history by being the first deaf male actor to ever receive an Oscar nomination, arriving 35 years after co-star Marlee Matlin won best actress for 1987's "Children of a Lesser God."
Sian Heder picked up the award for Best Adapted Screenplay for "CODA," beating out the writers behind "Drive My Car," "Dune," "The Lost Daughter," and "The Power of the Dog" to the gong.
"On behalf of everyone at Apple, we are so grateful to the Academy for the honors bestowed on CODA' this evening," said Zack Van Amburg, Apple's head of Worldwide Video. "We join our teams all over the world in celebrating Sian, Troy, the producers, and the entire cast and crew for bringing such a powerful representation of the Deaf community to audiences, and breaking so many barriers in the process."
Jamie Erlicht, Apple's head of Worldwide Video, said "It has been a true joy to witness the positive impact on humanity that this story and its performances have had worldwide. We send our warmest congratulations to Sian; Troy; the cast; the creative team; producers Patrick, Philippe, and Fabrice; and everyone who helped bring inclusion and accessibility to the forefront through this remarkable film."
Apple CEO Tim Cook took to Twitter shortly after the win, posting a photograph of the cast at the event. "Team CODA created a profoundly beautiful movie, a story of hope and heart that celebrates our differences," Cook writes about the "historic wins" by the film.
Bruno Delbonnel narrowly missed the Best Cinematography award for his work in "The Tragedy of Macbeth," in a category that also included "Dune," "Nightmare Alley," "The Power of the Dog," and "West Side Story." Greig Fraser ultimately won for his work on "Dune."
Stefan Dechant didn't win the category for Best Production Design for "The Tragedy of Macbeth," with it won by Patrice Vermette and Zsuzsanna Sipos for "Dune."

The Tragedy of Macbeth
Denzel Washington's portrayal of the titular character in "The Tragedy of Macbeth" wasn't quite enough to win Best Actor against Will Smith for "King Richard." The nomination was Washington's tenth at the Oscars, and he previously won Best Actor for "Training Day" in 2002 and Best Supporting Actor for "Glory" in 1990.Bruno Delbonnel narrowly missed the Best Cinematography award for his work in "The Tragedy of Macbeth," in a category that also included "Dune," "Nightmare Alley," "The Power of the Dog," and "West Side Story."

I just noticed that you posted four messages on the above article, even though it has nothing to do with Apple. How do you explain this contradiction in your behaviour?
Maybe you shouldn't have commented at all.
That it won tells you how poor and little choice the academy had his year.
And Tmay, get off date’s back. In any case, despite Campion directing it, the Power of the Dog was a irritating snore fest that I still haven’t forgiven Mrs Entropy for making me see.
Apple's 'CODA' beats Netflix to Best Picture award at the 2022 Oscars
What the article didn't mention was what Netflix movie lost to "Coda". But the Article didn't mention any of the producers of any of the movies nominated, winners or losers. But thanks to you, I now know the Netflix movie that lost was "The Power of the Dog". Not that I cared.
You were questioning why AI didn't mention that "Netflix" won for Best Director. This was because neither of Apple+ two movies up for Oscars, were nominated for Best Director. This article was only about Apple+ six Oscars nominations for two of their movies and how they did. I'm sure that if either of Apple+ movies was nominated for Best Director and Apple+ lost to Netflix, it would mention the winning director and movie. Like they did with their "The Tragedy of MacBeth" losses. Otherwise, there was no need to mention Netflix winning for Best Director. It had nothing to do with Apple+ six Oscars nominations. Mentioning it would only serve as good PR for Netflix.
Now if this article was about how all movie streamers did at the Oscars, then one would expect to read about how Netflix did, along with how all the other Oscars nominated movie streamers did.
The article you link was all about MS buying out Blizzard. AI readers knew ahead of time, just by the title, what the article was about and might not have anything directly to do with Apple.
"date" was being a dick.

See how that works?
In such public event, your action demonstrates your real character. Self control,tolerance is most important aspect than violence on stage. In fact, I admire Chris for him keeping cool and continue behaving like the good host do.
