Historic Oscar moment wasn’t the slap The 94th Academy Awards ceremony on March 27 wasn’t just entertaining.

It was historic! Especially for queer people and Deaf/disabled people.

We’ve seldom seen ourselves portrayed authentically on the silver screen, and queer and/or Deaf/disabled actors have rarely been honored by Tinsel Town.

At this year’s Academy Awards we saw ourselves among the Oscar winners.

That’s a high greater than sex or booze.

First, let’s get past The Slap.

Unless you’ve exited this planet, you’ll know that Will Smith slapped Chris Rock after the comedian told an ableist joke about his wife, actress Jada Pinkett Smith’s hair. Her head is shaved. She has alopecia, a condition that causes hair loss.

It’s ironic that Smith hit Rock on the same night when Jane Campion won the best director Oscar for “The Power of the Dog,” a movie about toxic masculinity, based on a 1967 novel of the same name by Thomas Savage, a closeted gay author. Campion is only the third woman to win the best director Oscar.

Despite all the social media buzz, here’s what’s historic about this year’s Oscars. the best supporting actress Oscar for her performance as Anita in Steven queer woman of color to win an acting Oscar.

I’m a queer white woman. I can’t begin to imagine how much DeBose’s Oscar win means to women of color. Yet I believe her historic Oscar moment CEO Sarah Kate Ellis said in a statement about DeBose, “heard her speak and recognize that they too should dream big.”

“Imagine this little girl at the back seat of a white Ford Focus. When you

“CODA.” He won the Academy Award for best supporting actor. thrilling to we who are disabled! (I’m low vision.)

Hollywood, historically, has represented us in inauthentic ways. Way too portrayals of disabled/Deaf characters. This is known as “disability mimicry” in the disabled community.

“I can’t believe I’m here,” Kotsur signed in his acceptance speech.

Kotsur dedicated his Oscar to “the Deaf community, the CODA community and the disabled community.”

“This is our moment,” he added.

When I was a child, I thought I’d only live until I was nine or 10. Because the only disabled people I saw in the movies were either blind beggars or blind singers. These weren’t career options for me. I couldn’t sing and my parents would have frowned on my panhandling.

As a teen who liked girls, I saw no girls like me on screen. (The girls in movies liked boys.)

Thankfully, things are better than they were when I was young, though there’s a long way to go before queer, disabled, people of color, and others on the margins are represented authentically on the silver screen.

We need to keep working for change. But let’s enjoy our moment!
