Tim Cook, Troy Kotsur Honored at the National Association of the Deaf’s Breakthrough Awards
Caroline Brew editor “CODA,” starring Marlee Matlin and Troy Kotsur, made history at the 2022 Oscars. The film, written and directed by Sian Heder, became the first featuring a predominantly deaf cast to win best picture. Kotsur’s best supporting actor win made him the first male deaf actor to win an Oscar and the second ever deaf actor to win — with Matlin being the first for her 1987 best actress win for her role in “Children of a Lesser God.” Heder and Kostur were among the honorees at the National Association of the Deaf’s 2023 Breakthrough Awards.
