Dune 2021

The 94th Oscars took place on Sunday night in Hollywood as a celebration of the best films released in the last year. Coming out of the pandemic, we’ve been lucky to have some excellent options to choose from, and while there wasn’t any big surprises, there were some excellent winners.

if you missed the ceremony, you missed some great performances from Beyoncé, Billie Eilish and Finneas, and the cast of Encanto. There were also some big name appearances from the likes of DeNiro, Pacino, Travolta, Samuel L Jackson, Uma Thurman, Lady Gaga, Liza Minnelli and loads more. Oh, and then there was that Will Smith - Chris Rock thing, but less about that.

The important thing is the films and the big winner went to CODA. Not only was this this the first film to win Best Picture from a streaming platform (Apple TV+), it was also the first with a predominantly deaf cast.

Other big wins went to Dune, Power of the Dog, King Richard, Belfast, Encanto and The eyes of Tammy Faye. Most of these films are now available on streaming platforms, so if you haven’t seen them yet, now is your chance to catch up.

3. King Richard

It’s a feel-good story with a few twists and turns along the way. Smith is brilliant as the obsessively dedicated father and gives a performance that left little doubt that the Oscar was coming his way.

King Richard is streaming on Hulu and HBO Max and is available to rent from Apple TV,Amazon Prime, YouTube andGooglePlay.

4. CODA

The film was adapted from an old French movie and is beautifully adapted here. It’s honest, funny, endearing and loving, but not always comfortable viewing. The cast takes this story to another level, making it not only believable but truly engaging. While some have called it an Oscar upset, I felt it was a dead cert from the start.

CODA is available to stream now on Apple TV+.
