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.
Notably, New Zealand born Australian director Jane Champion became the third ever female filmmaker to win Best Director for her film Power of the Dog. She was congratulated by the New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Adern who complimented her skill and talent and said she put ‘New Zealand on the world stage’.
Defeating the likes of Power of the dog and Dune, Coda ultimately scooped the Best Picture award after winning the best-adapted screenplay award as well.

MDMA is a drug commonly known as molly or ecstasy.
Some medical professionals say it can be helpful for people with post-traumatic stress disorder — which is why a group has been fighting to get MDMA legalized as a prescription drug.
Currently, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration is reviewing an application to use MDMA to treat PTSD. The agency is expected to announce its ruling as soon as August.
