The 94th Academy Awards have come to an end after a scandalous slap and a historical night of memorable wins.

Among the top winners is Denis Villeneuve’s Dune which won six out of its 10 nominations, setting the highest record for the night. The Sci-Fi film picked up the award for Sound, Editing, Score, Cinematography, Visual Effects, and Production Design.

Ariana DeBose became the first openly queer Afro-Latina woman in the Academy’s 94-year history to take home an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress in the movie, West Side Story.

CODA’s Troy Kotsur also made history as the first deaf male actor to win an academy award for Best Supporting Actor. His acceptance speech in sign language brought both the audience and the interpreter to tears.
