‘CODA': How Being Stuck on a Fishing Boat United the Cast as a Real Family (Video)

This year’s Best Picture Oscar winner “CODA” is returning to theaters for a limited theatrical run beginning this Friday, Apple announced Wednesday. “CODA” will play on over 600 U.S.

The Royal Family are gathering together today to pay tribute to Prince Philip, nearly a year on from his sad death in April 2021. After it was confirmed that The Queen will attend the special Service of Thanksgiving, there has been speculation over whether herself and the rest of the family will follow traditions and wear black for the ceremony.

SAG Award for Best Ensemble and the PGA Award for Best Picture, both signifiers of potential Oscar glory to come.Awards aside, “CODA” from writer-director Sian Heder, resonates as a loving depiction of a deaf family and their hearing daughter (“CODA” stands for “child of deaf adults”), Ruby (Emilia Jones), who must navigate between her family duties and her desire to strike out on her own. Unlike “La Famille Bélier,” the 2014 film on which it’s based, all of “CODA”s deaf characters are portrayed by deaf actors.

While on their Caribbean tour, the Duke and Duchess stopped off at Bob Marley's old Kingston neighbourhood of Trench Town.They wasted no time in jumping into a bobsleigh with the Cool Runnings team and they all decided to have a selfie. One of the team could be seen holding the phone as they snapped the selfie with the team and Kate and Will in the middle in the bobsleigh made for two.There's no denying the photo was an amazing one, but it's uncommon for members for the Royal Family to have a selfie.

Marlee Matlin made history by becoming the first (and still only) deaf actor to win an Oscar, picking up best actress for Children of a Lesser God. This year Matlin is not nominated, but her film Coda is up for three awards: best picture; best adapted screenplay and best supporting actor for her co-star and on-screen husband, the deaf actor Troy Kotsur (he’s the leading contender after trousering the Bafta on Sunday). On paper, Coda doesn’t look like a gamechanger.

Winning the Academy Award for Best Picture often demands so much more than simply making a great film. Sometimes, it comes down to peaking in the minds of awards voters in the final weeks of the season, capturing late awards and having the cast and story to charm the voters.
