The coming-of-age drama Coda made history during the 94th Academy Awards on Sunday evening, becoming the first streaming service distributed film to win the night's biggest honour, Best Picture.

The comedy-drama, written and directed by Sian Heder, stars Emilia Jones as the eponymous Coda (child of deaf adults), the only hearing member of a deaf family. The film also won Best Adapted Screenplay.

Elsewhere, Will Smith won Best Actor after a dramatic evening. Earlier in the ceremony, he climbed on stage after presenter Chris Rock made a joke about his wife, Jada Pinkett Smith, and slapped him, before shouting at him to "keep his wife's name out of his … mouth".
