What did CODA Win for?

CODA is a 2021 coming-of-age comedy-drama film written and directed by Sian Heder.

An English-language remake of the 2014 French film La Famille Bélier, CODA stars Emilia Jones as the titular child of deaf adults (CODA) and only hearing member of a deaf family, who struggles to balance her attempts to help her family’s struggling fishing business and her own life aspirations.

An international co-production between the United States and France with original La Famille Bélier crew member Philippe Rousselet acting once again as producer for the remake, the film was filmed on location in Gloucester, Massachusetts, in the United States.

CODA had its world premiere on January 28, 2021, at the 2021 Sundance Film Festival. Apple acquired distribution rights to CODA for a festival-record $25 million.

CODA was released in theaters and through the Apple TV+ streaming service on August 13, 2021 and garnered positive reviews from critics and was named one of the top 10 films of 2021 by the American Film Institute.

At the 94th Academy Awards held on March 27, 2022, KODA won all three awards that it was nominated for: Best Picture, Best Supporting Actor, and Best Adapted Screenplay.
