"CODA" star Troy Kotsur scripted history as he became the second deaf person to win the best supporting actor trophy at the Oscars.

"It is amazing to be here. I cannot believe that I am here. Thank you to the Academy for recognising my work," an emotional Kotsur said through an interpreter of the American Sign Language (ASL) in his acceptance speech.

Actor-dancer Ariana DeBose was named the best supporting actress at the 94th edition of the Academy Awards for her performance in Steven Spielberg's adaptation of the iconic Broadway musical "West Side Story".

Interestingly, her win comes six decades after Rita Moreno won the best supporting actress Oscar for her role as Anita in "West Side Story", also directed by Spielberg.

Beyonce opened the 94th Academy Awards and gave a tribute to Venus and Serena Williams at the famed tennis court in Compton.
