Apple has become the first streaming service to finally win a best picture Oscar.

After years and millions of dollars spent campaigning by both Netflix and Amazon to get the prize, Apple TV+ and its critical darling "CODA" will go down in history as the streaming movie that won the Academy's biggest prize.

Netflix was also on the hunt for the best picture trophy as well with its movie "The Power of the Dog," but it was only able to take home the best director award for Jane Campion.

"CODA" follows a young girl (Emilia Jones) who is the only hearing member of her deaf family who is an aspiring singer.

The best picture win was not the only history making moment for the movie. Actor Troy Kotsur's best supporting actor win marked the first time a male deaf actor has ever won an Oscar.
