Sunday night, at the 98th Annual Academy Awards, Apple’s history-making film “F1” won Best Sound from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. This Academy Award win marks the latest honor for “F1” following its record-breaking box office run as the highest-grossing sports feature of all time. The film is now streaming globally on Apple TV. In addition to four Academy Award nominations including Best Picture, the Apple Original Film from Jerry Bruckheimer and Joseph Kosinski has also been recognized as one of the National Board of Review Top 10 Films of 2025, landed two Critics Choice Award wins for Best Editing and Best Sound, and a Best Sound win at the 2026 BAFTA Film Awards, in addition to wins at the Cinema Audio Society Awards; Visual Effects Society (VES) Awards; British Film Designers Guild Awards; African American Film Critics Association (AAFCA) Film Awards; and the Irish Film & Television (IFTA) Awards. The film has received nominations for the Actor Awards presented by SAG-AFTRA, Golden Globes, Producers Guild of America Awards, Costume Designers Guild Awards, Art Directors Guild Awards, ACE Eddie Awards, the Casting Society’s Artios Awards, Grammy Awards, Society of Composers & Lyricists Awards and NAACP Image Awards, among many others. This year’s Academy Award win follows Apple’s history-making wins at the 2022 Academy Awards, when “CODA” became the first motion picture starring a predominantly Deaf cast in leading roles to win Best Picture, and the first-ever film from a streaming service to land Best Picture. “CODA” star Troy Kotsur was the first Deaf male actor to win Best Supporting Actor, and writer-director Siân Heder landed her first-ever Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay. In 2023, beloved Apple Original Film “The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse” won the Oscar for Best Animated Short Film. In 2024, Apple made history again when “Killers of the Flower Moon” landed landmark representation for Indigenous artists, as Lily Gladstone became the first Native American to land a nomination for Best Actress, and Indigenous artists Robbie Robertson and Scott George were recognized with first-ever nominations in the Best Original Score and Best Original Song categories, respectively. Martin Scorsese also made history as the most-nominated living director, bringing his total to 10 total lifetime Academy Award nominations for Best Director. Dubbed “the greatest that never was,” Sonny Hayes (Brad Pitt) was FORMULA 1’s most promising phenom of the 1990s until an accident on the track nearly ended his career. Thirty years later, he’s a nomadic racer-for-hire when he’s approached by his former teammate Ruben Cervantes (Javier Bardem), owner of a struggling FORMULA 1 team that is on the verge of collapse. Ruben convinces Sonny to come back to FORMULA 1 for one last shot at saving the team and being the best in the world. He’ll drive alongside Joshua Pearce (Damson Idris), the team’s hotshot rookie intent on setting his own pace. But as the engines roar, Sonny’s past catches up with him and he finds that in FORMULA 1, your teammate is your fiercest competition — and the road to redemption is not something you can travel alone.
