As expected, CODA took home the biggest prize at the 2022 Oscars, giving Apple TV+ its first Best Picture award ever. The big four awards were in fact split between four movies, with Will Smith (King Richard) and Jessica Chastain (The Eyes of Tammy Faye) winning Best Actor and Best Actress respectively, while Jane Campion (The Power of the Dog) picked up Best Director. CODA won all three categories it was nominated in — Best Supporting Actor (Troy Kotsur), Best Adapted Screenplay (Sian Heder), and Best Picture — though that wasn't enough to beat Denis Villeneuve's sci-fi epic Dune which won five of the seven technical categories (Best Sound, Best Film Editing, Best Cinematography, Best Visual Effects, and Best Production Design).
Thanks to that — and the win for Smith in Best Actor — HBO Max emerged as the joint biggest winner alongside Disney amongst studios and platforms on the night. (Both Dune and King Richard were part of Warner Bros.' 2021 film slate that premiered in cinemas, and on HBO Max in the US at the same time, owing to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.) Disney's six wins at the 94th Academy Awards came thanks to its subsidiaries Searchlight Pictures (Best Actress, Best Supporting Actress, Best Animated Movie, Best Documentary Feature, Best Makeup and Hairstyling, and Best Costume Design).
