Clayton Davis Academy Award winner Troy Kotsur is a man of many talents. But above all, he’s a lover of cinema and all its infinite splendor.On the cover of Variety this week discussing his historic best supporting actor win for “CODA,” Kotsur used American Sign Language (ASL) to interpret some of the most iconic lines in movie history.

according to Deadline. “As our industry recognizes ‘CODA’ with its highest honor, we’re excited once again to bring this moving film to theaters so that audiences can share in the experience of watching it together,” said Erica Anderson, an Apple Original Films and Apple+ executive.

Oscars. However, the Academy has been criticised for only having an ASL (American Sign Language) interpreter on stage during Coda’s acceptance speech, and no one else’s. Some viewers assumed the cast brought their own interpreters.

The 2022 Oscars witnessed many history making moments despite the physical altercation between Will Smith and host Chris Rock fast becoming the most talked about scene from the ceremony. Will, 53, lashed out at Chris after he teased Jada, 50, saying that he could not wait to see her in the next 'G.I. Jane' movie which appeared to be a reference to her shaved head, despite the actress opening up about having alopecia and struggling with hair loss.

CODA capped off the wild last hour of tonight’s Oscars with a history-making win for Best Picture, making Apple the first streaming winner in the top category.

Troy Kotsur’s exciting journey on the awards circuit culminated into a history-making moment at the 94th annual Oscar Awards. On Sunday, the CODA actor took home the best supporting actor prize and became the first male actor to win for a performance in American Sign Language.

some controversy over “West Side Story” star Rachel Zegler not being invited to the ceremony, she’s due to present an award.Here’s every presenter announced for this year’s Oscars:

Best PictureNominees:“Belfast”“CODA”“Don’t Look Up”“Drive My Car”“Dune”“King Richard”“Licorice Pizza”“Nightmare Alley”“The Power of the Dog”“West Side Story”“The Power of the Dog” has won at the Directors Guild and BAFTA and Critics Choice and Golden Globes – but all season long, I’ve had a feeling that “Power” would prove to be too austere and arty, that it wouldn’t have the broad support it needed to win under the preferential system that’s used to count votes in this category. But for months, nothing else showed that it could craft the consensus needed to beat “Power.”In the homestretch, though, a legitimate challenger emerged: not “Belfast” or “King Richard,” both of which once seemed capable of amassing the kind of widespread support needed to win, but “CODA,” a surprise hit at Sundance in 2021 that was acquired by Apple and won the SAG ensemble award, the key Producers Guild Award and a Writers Guild Award.“The Power of the Dog” will probably get a big boost from the international voters who may make up as much as a quarter of the Academy, while “CODA” is less divisive and can point to being a landmark in the depiction of deaf people on screen.

Todd Spangler NY Digital EditorDuring ABC’s Academy Awards broadcast on March 27, Snap will air its first-ever Oscars TV spot, honoring the Deaf and hard-of-hearing communities. The ad shows people using Snapchat’s augmented-reality Lenses to learn American Sign Language.The ad (watch below) was inspired by the Oscar nominations for Apple Original Films’ “CODA” — the first motion picture starring a predominantly Deaf cast to receive a best picture nomination, and Troy Kotsur as the first Deaf male actor nominated in the supporting actor category — and the Oscar nod for Netflix’s “Audible,” which follows the journey of Maryland School for the Deaf high school athlete Amaree McKenstry-Hall, for documentary short subject.

Clayton Davis This past weekend proved to be a wild ride on the awards circuit.The Producers Guild of America Awards bestowed their top honors upon Apple Original Film’s “CODA” on Saturday night while the Cinema Audio Society went with Warner Bros’ “Dune.”At the Writers Guild of America Awards, several of the Oscar nominees for screenplay – “Belfast” (Kenneth Branagh), “Drive My Car” (Ryûsuke Hamaguchi, Takamasa Oe), “The Lost Daughter” (Maggie Gyllenhaal) and “The Power of the Dog” (Jane Campion) – were not eligible for recognition. So instead, the group went with “Don’t Look Up” from Adam McKay and David Sirota in original, with “CODA” tacking another trophy for adapted following BAFTA.And the final shoe to drop was the American Society of Cinematographers delivering Greig Fraser (“Dune”) the statuette, his second win following “Lion” (2016).

Kristen Stewart has been making the rounds for awards season, and she’s looking absolutely fabulous while doing it! The star — who’s nominated for a Best Actress Oscar for her work as Princess Diana in Spencer — proved on point when she was spotted at the 33rd Annual Producers Guild Awards in Los Angeles on Saturday (March 19). Kristen stole the spotlight in a gorgeous white gown as she presented the top honors at the celeb-packed event.

LOS ANGELES -- “CODA” won the top prize at Saturday night's Producers Guild Awards, giving momentum to the possibility that the small film could have a big night at next week's Oscars.The story of three adult family members who are deaf and a fourth who is not and seeks a singing career beat out bigger contenders including “The Power of the Dog,” “Dune” and “West Side Story" to take an award that — more often than not — goes on to win the Academy Award for best picture.“This movie has been an amazing ride, it was such a special one to make, there was so much love and so much heart put into it,” said Fabrice Gianfermi as he accepted the award with his “CODA” co-producers Philippe Rousselet and Patrick Wachsberger at the 33rd PGA Awards.An American Sign Language translator, who had been off to one side of the stage throughout the night’s speeches, stood front and center during the “CODA” acceptance and another stood in front of the stage to translate for the three actors from the film who are deaf: Troy Kotsur, Marlee Matlin and Daniel Durant.“CODA,” an acronym for “children of deaf adults,” is nominated for three Oscars at the March 27 ceremony, including best adapted screenplay for writer-director Sian Heder and best supporting actor for Kotsur, who is expected by most to become the first actor who is deaf since Matlin in 1987 to win an Oscar.After it won best ensemble at last month's Screen Actors Guild Awards it began to appear “CODA” could get real consideration for best picture. The odds may be getting better.

Apple Original Films’ CODA has won the Darryl F. Zanuck Award for Outstanding Producer of Theatrical Motion Pictures at PGA Awards tonigtht, making a Best Picture win at Oscar next Sunday highly likely — while also making history as the first ever streaming film to win this award at the Producers Guild Awards.

The PGA Awards is always one of the longest awards ceremonies. This year, however, there was joy in the room as it returned to an in-person event and fine career honoring acceptance speeches by Kathleen Kennedy, George Lucas, Greg Berlanti, and Issa Rae.
