Meskipun menjadi film dengan raihan nominasi terbanyak di The 94th Annual Academy Awards, film arahan Jane Campion, The Power of the Dog (2021), hanya mampu memenangkan satu kategori dari 12 nominasi diperolehnya yaitu kemenangan untuk Campion di kategori Best Director. Film yang terpilih untuk memenangkan kategori utama, Best Picture, di pagelaran Academy Awards kali ini adalah CODA (2021). Film arahan Siân Heder tersebut mampu memenangkan tiga kategori yang dinominasikan, Best Picture, Best Actor in a Supporting Role untuk Troy Kotsur, serta Best Adapted Screenplay untuk Heder. Kemenangan CODA yang dirilis oleh Apple TV+ juga menjadi kali pertama kategori Best Picture dimenangkan oleh film yang dirilis melalui layanan streaming.
Kemenangan terbesar di ajang The 94th Annual Academy Awards sendiri dicatatkan oleh Dune (2021) yang menyapu bersih kemenangan di enam kategori teknis: Best Film Editing, Best Cinematography, Best Visual Effects, Best Production Design, Best Sound, dan Best Original Score. Di kategori akting, Will Smith – yang terlibat dalam sebuah insiden dengan komedian Chris Rock yang akan menjadi salah satu momen tidak terlupakan dalam sejarah penyelenggaraan Acaemy Awards – akhirnya berhasil memenangkan Academy Awards di kategori Best Actor in a Leading Role lewat penampilannya dalam film King Richard (2021). Tidak hanya Smith dan Kotsur, dua aktris pemenang Best Actress in a Leading Role dan Best Actress in a Supporting Role, Jessica Chastain (The Eyes of Tammy Faye, 2021) dan Ariana DeBose (West Side Story, 2021), juga memenangkan Academy Awards mereka untuk kali pertama.
