Oh yeah, something else happened at the Oscars |

On the heels of Apple's CODA making history at the 94th Annual Academy Awards, sweeping all categories in which it was nominated, including Best Picture, Best Supporting Actor for Troy Kotsur and Best Adapted Screenplay for Siân Heder, the company announced the heartwarming crowd-pleaser, starring a predominantly Deaf cast, will be re-released in UK cinemas with open captions to be accessible to the deaf and hard of hearing, for a limited theatrical run, beginning Friday, April 8.
In addition to the three Academy Awards, the globally beloved CODA has received numerous history-making accolades since its debut, becoming the first motion picture with a predominantly Deaf cast to receive a SAG Award for Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture. At this year's PGA Awards, CODA became the first film with a predominantly Deaf cast to receive the Darryl F. Zanuck Award for Outstanding Producer of Theatrical Motion Pictures, recognizing producers Philippe Rousselet, Fabrice Gianfermi, and Patrick Wachsberger. Troy Kotsur is the first Deaf male actor to ever receive an Oscar, a BAFTA Award, a SAG Award, a Film Independent Spirit Award, and a Critics Choice Award for his moving performance in the supporting actor category. CODA writer-director Siân Heder was also recently recognized with this year's WGA Award and BAFTA Film Award for Best Adapted Screenplay.
At the Sundance Film Festival in 2021, where the Apple Original Film had its world premiere, CODA was honored with an unprecedented four awards, including the Special Jury Award for Ensemble Cast, the Directing Award, the Audience Award, and the Grand Jury Prize, making it the first top Sundance winner to achieve an Oscar for Best Picture. CODA has also received an AFI Award, an NAACP Image Award for Outstanding Independent Motion Picture, and four Hollywood Critics Association Film Awards, including Best Picture, Best Adapted Screenplay for Siân Heder, and Best Supporting Actor for Troy Kotsur, as well as an HCA Spotlight Award.
Since the debut of Apple TV+ just over two years ago, Apple's series and films have earned 240 wins and 953 nominations, including recognition from the Academy Awards, BAFTA Film Awards, S AG Awards, Critics Choice Awards, Critics Choice Documentary Awards, NAACP Image Awards, Daytime and Primetime Emmy Awards, and more. |
