In a first
The 2022 Oscar nominations included several firsts. In the best supporting actor category Troy Kotsur (“CODA”) has become the first deaf man and the second deaf actor nominated for an Academy Award. His co-star Marlee Matlin was the first deaf nominee and winner, in 1986 for “Children of a Lesser God.”
“CODA” also marks Apple’s first-ever best picture nomination. “Flee,” a Danish animated documentary, earned nods for best international picture, best animated feature and best feature documentary. It is the first feature to ever be nominated in all three of those categories.
