It seems like yesterday when we told you that Apple had taken over the independent film rights CODA and that he had paid a good amount for them. It seems that the investment has been worth it, because not only has it already received a few Sundance awards, but now it also has to be kept in its display case two Gotham awards.
The Gotham Awards are awards given annually to American independent filmmakers in New York. Apple TV + can boast of having a few awards already and if we combine these last two received thanks to the CODA film, it is likely that the strategy of quality over quantity can pay off. Stars Emilia Jones and Troy Kotsur took home a trophy for her roles in the film, the story of a deaf adult daughter who must choose between family obligations and her dream of being a singer.
The stars received their awards at the 31st Annual Gotham Independent Film Awards in Manhattan. In its film category, the Gotham Awards have several categories that recognize American feature films made for less than 35 million.
CODA received three nominations in the Gothams. Emilia Jones won the Breakthrough Performer Award for her lead role as Ruby Rossi, the hearing child in the family who wants to sing but finds it difficult to pursue that dream. Troy Kotsur took the Acting trophy for his role as Frank Rossi, Ruby's father. Marlee Matlin earned a nomination for Best Performance for her role as Jackie Rossi, Ruby's mother. However, the veteran actress did not take home the award.
CODA joins the list of award-winning productions and therefore, at least, we must give them a chance and check them out if you haven't already.
