'CODA' actor Troy Kotsur is expected by most to become the first actor who is deaf since Marlee Matlin in 1987 to win an Oscar.
Three of America's funniest ladies are at the right place at the right time, and however many laughs they may get, the trio is guaranteed to make history.
The coming-of-age film follows Ruby, the only hearing person in her New England family of four, as she contemplates leaving their struggling fishing business -- and her role as their interpreter -- to pursue her own dreams at the Berklee College of Music. The family is forced to figure out how they'll survive without her.
The family drama won best ensemble at the Screen Actors Guild Awards and beat out bigger contenders including"The Power of the Dog,""Dune" and"West Side Story" the Producers Guild Awards. The top PGA award winner has gone on to win the top Oscar in three of the past four years and 10 of the past 13. The film's deep-pocketed backer, Apple TV+, has spent big to push a feel-good underdog indie to the front of the pack. If"CODA" wins, it will be the first time since 1932's"Grand Hotel" that a film with fewer than four nominations took best picture.
The 94th Academy Awards will return to their usual home, Los Angeles' Dolby Theatre, and be broadcast live on ABC beginning at 8 p.m. ET/7 p.m. CT/5 p.m. PT.
