If you missed the Academy Awards last night, you're probably searching for two things: "Will Smith slap" and how to watch CODA online. The critically acclaimed coming-of-age drama was pitched against a lineup of Hollywood blockbusters and star-studded films, and it surprised everyone when it took home the coveted award for Best Picture.
The victory marked a number of historic firsts. Not only was it the first film with a predominantly deaf cast to win an Academy Award (including Troy Kotsur, who won Best Supporting Actor), but it's also the first Best Picture winner to be exclusively distributed by a streaming service. Apple TV Plus owns the rights to CODA, making the relatively new streaming service the only place to watch the film online. Unlike other services, Apple TV Plus has a relatively large reach and is available in most countries.
The film stars Emilia Jones as Ruby, a Child of Deaf Adults (aka CODA) who is hearing and has aspirations to become a singer. This realization occurs while her deaf family members struggle to make ends meet with their fishing business. The film received critical acclaim for its representation and the acting chops of its cast, and its triumph on Oscar night will be remembered for many years to come. This guide will tell you how you can watch the Academy Award winner CODA right now.
