CODA makes history at the 2022 Academy Awards. The film, which brings Deaf actors and the Deaf community to the forefront, secured the Oscar in the best picture category.
The coming-of-age comedy-drama film written and directed by Sian Heder won over popular productions with big budgets, including Belfast and Power of the Dog.After the film’s well-deserved winning, Eugenio Derbez, which plays Bernardo Villalobos, a music teacher trying to help a 17-year-old girl develop her singing voice after being the only hearing member of her family, reacts on how surprised he is that CODA, a remake movie with a budget of $10 million, won three Academy Awards.“CODA was the smallest movie of all.
A low-budget movie competing with huge films like Dune, Guillermo del Toro’s Nightmare Alley, [Steven] Spielberg’s West Side Story, we thought we weren’t going to have a chance of winning against these superstars and million dollar movies,” says the Mexican actor during an interview with Despierta America.“And to be honest, the costumes that I wore in the movie, I brought them myself because there was no budget,” reveals Derbez. “I wanted a special wardrobe, a modern wardrobe, and they told me, ‘we don’t have money.
There is only what we already bought.’ So I said, well, don’t worry, I’ll take care of my clothes,” he added. “That’s how small the budget was on this movie, and that it won is a complete surprise to us.” According to the actor, when he met Troy Kotsur, they shared a special moment that didn’t need any words. “Troy told me, ‘I just saw your movie Instructions Not Included because I wanted to get to know you better,’” Eugenio said, adding that Kotsur wanted to share something else.
