There was a White Men Can't Jump reunion at the Oscars -- the same day as its 30th anniversary (via toofab)
Like his"CODA" costar Marlee Matlin, Troy Kotsur made history -- becoming the first deaf man and second deaf actor ever to win an acting Academy Award. After the initial cheer of excitement, the audience was filled with audience members doing a silent applause instead.
"This is amazing to be here on this journey. I can't believe I'm here. It's really amazing that our film CODA has reached out world wide. It even reached to the White House," he said in his speech."They invited the cast to have a tour of the White House, I met President Joe and Dr. Jill and I was planning on teaching them some dirty sign language, but Marlee Matlin told me to behave myself.
He then thanked the film's director Sian Hader for bringing the"deaf world and hearing world together" with the project, paid tribute to his parents and family and concluded,"I just wanted to say that this is dedicated to the deaf community, the CODA [children of deaf adult] community, the disabled community. This is our moment."
