These are the three moments of the Oscar ceremony that should have been a trend (and not the slap)There was more than Will Smith's anger during the 94th Academy Awards...
This article was translated from ourSpanish edition.
Will Smith's slap in the face of Chris Rock became, without a doubt, the most talked about moment of the 94th Academy Awards. The fury of the actor, who later received an award for his performance inKing Richard: A Winning Family,today occupies the headlines of the media and continues to trend on all social networks.
The slap overshadowedthe moments that should have gone viralbecause of what they mean in the history of cinema. Brief moments that show that the industry evolves, that it is inclusive and that there are great stars with a humble heart capable of stealing a sigh from us. But let's not get ahead of ourselves, here we share the three truly stellar moments of the night. With your permission, Will...
DEAF ACTOR TROY KOTSUR WINS A STATUE
Troy Kotsuris a 53-year-old actor who made history by winning theBest Supporting Actor awardfor his role in the filmCODA. In the film, Kotsur plays Frank Rossi, a deaf-mute fisherman and the father of a family in which everyone except his daughter, Ruby, lives with the same disability. Kotsur is truly deaf and has never before had a deaf actor win the statuette (in 1987 actressMarlee Matlin, also deaf and appearing in CODA, won Best Supporting Actress forChildren of a Lesser God). In his acceptance speech, Troy remembered his father in a very emotional way and later dedicated the award to all people with disabilities.

For the first time in history a production of astreamingplatform winstheOscar for Best Filmof the year. It wasCODA, a film about a girl in a deaf family who dreams of being a singer. The film was produced by Apple and released on August 13, 2021 in a few theaters (to be able to contend) and on theApple TV +streaming platform. It is a remake of the French filmThe Bélier Familyand was directed bySian Heder. In previous installments, Netflix had obtained nominations for its productions (includingRomaby Alfonso Cuarón in 2019), but had failed to win the coveted statuette.

3. LADY GAGA IS MOVING WITH HER EMPATHY FOR LIZA MINNELLI
The most emotional moment of the night was in charge ofLady GagaandLiza Minnelli. Both actresses presented the award forBest Filmand Lady Gaga did not stop praising Minnelli's career and what it meant for her to be next to a legend. Minnelli, a little confused, mentioned that she did not understand what she had to do and Lady Gaga said: "I have you". After taking Minnelli's hand and not letting go until the end, she guided the legend so that together they presented the award. Patient and caring, the young actress (who was left out of the nominations for her role inHouse of Gucci) gave us a taste of how we should treat our elders. A moving moment.
This is like a lesson in how to facilitate older people while honoring who they are.
