It was an Academy Awards which no one will be forgetting anytime soon. Aside from its controversy, this year's Oscars set new records for diversity and representation, as well as giving long-awaited recognition for two big-screen veterans.
The talking-point of the night, though, was when actor Will Smith slapped comedian Chris Rock across the face after he made a joke about Jada Pinkett Smith's hair loss. Just minutes later, Smith went on to win his first ever Oscar for best actor in the film King Richard.
Meanwhile, Apple TV+ became the first ever streaming service to win an Oscar for best film, as CODA took the prestigious title. CODA follows 17-year-old Ruby as the only hearing member of a deaf family in America.

Netflix has had several productions nominated in this category in recent years, including Roma in 2019, The Irishman in 2020 and The Trial of the Chicago 7 in 2021. But CODA is the one of the first ever films to be distributed by Apple TV+, and its win this year means Netflix’s wait for Oscar glory continues.

Nominees: Jessie Buckley - The Lost Daughter, Dame Judi Dench - Belfast, Kirsten Dunst - The Power Of The Dog, Aunjanue Ellis - King Richard.
Ariana DeBose's character in West Side Story has become the first to win two Academy Awards - 60 years apart. In 1962, Rita Moreno won the Oscar for best supporting actress for her role as Anita in the original film adaptation of the musical.
Exactly 60 years later, Ariana DeBose won best supporting actress for playing the same role – Anita – in Steven Spielberg’s new version of the same film.

Campion had already broken new ground this year by becoming the only woman to be nominated twice for best director. Her first nod came nearly 30 years ago in 1994, for The Piano.
She didn’t win in 1994, but success in 2022 means Campion is now the third female in the history of the Academy Awards to be named best director, after Chloe Zhao in 2021 and Kathryn Bigelow in 2010 (for The Hurt Locker).
