Oscars 2022: Could Apple’s Coda win best picture?
Apple TV’s film about the hearing daughter of a deaf family could win best picture on Sunday. …
After some discussion, Heder and Matlin refused to proceed with the film unless they could cast actors who were deaf in real life. “I had three deaf roles that I wanted to be played by deaf actors,” Heder told BBC culture editor Katie Razzall. “And so there wasn’t really the opportunity to plug in a bunch of movie stars.”
