CODA director Sian Heder: “Marlee Matlin won an Oscar 35 years ago and she’s been alone in this industry, she’s been the sole representative of this community. It’s time for that to change... I hope that this is not a movie, it’s a movement.”
For the second year in a row, a woman has won the Oscar for best director.
After thanking the actors in the film and her family, Campion offered one final thank you to Thomas Savage, the author of the 1967 novel: “It would be impossible without the man I never met, Thomas Savage. He wrote about cruelty, wanting the opposite, kindness. Thank you, Academy. It’s a lifetime honor.”
Later, Campion demurred when asked when she expects the best director category to be all women. “I’m someone that doesn’t really think about, too much, my fellow artists genders,” she said. “I love great work when people do it and I don’t care who they are or where they come from. I’m just moved by it.”
