Pioneering family drama Coda has gone from a low budget festival film to best picture at the Oscars, marking a milestone as AppleTV+ becomes the first-ever streamer to win the award.

The heart-warming movie, directed by Sian Heder, also triumphed at the Sundance Film Festival, where it won top prize and became the biggest acquisition in the festival’s history after Apple TV+ picked it up for 25 million US dollars.
