"Not because we're deaf, we're just actors who happen to be deaf and we're being recognized for our talent" That is so powerful!!

[@isaacmcallister5649]

I may not be deaf but I’m neurologically challenged, and my father always said to me “This does not define who you are.” But to the show-runner’s point, cultural awareness is genuinely important.

[@katemc5708]

Well done The Kelly Clarkson Show for using interpreters properly, showing the signing all the way through, not just cutting to the 'best shot'!

[@jrock1030]

This interpreter should win an award with keeping up with Kelly! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@debbiedoodiedandi]

And Emilia

[@carrie14u2nv]

😂😂😂 I love Kelly so much but this made me laugh! She gets on a roll talking fast especially when she gets excited she talks so fast sometimes I can't understand her lol

[@skinnyfatnomore]

Respectfully 😆 🤣 😂

[@jennifercoleman6218]

It's like my doctor today trying to keep up with how fast I talk lol. I have a cleft palate. I sometimes wonder if he can even understand me lol

[@northwoodlandhills]

I know Kelly speaks fast

[@MayaBarlev]

This interview is so beautifully done. The format shows so much respect and Kelly was such a kind and generous host.

[@amyroldan7]

I knew Marley and Daniel from Switched at Birth! I love this! The deaf community needs more recognition

[@xbluebellsx7492]

YES SWITCHED AT BIRTH

[@evanbumpas3561]

yeah i definitely remember them from that show as well like i am hard of hearing and this makes me feel happier inside and outside when these movie's and shows do this for the deaf community

[@MelanieCC05]

@@evanbumpas3561 same here, I am also hard of hearing. I really loved watching Switched at Birth, but never could watch it full since I don’t live in the USA, do you know where I could watch it?

[@Bjork4s]

Really? You should go back to the 80s where Marlee made her feature acting debut with Children of a Lesser God that earned her an Oscar win, the first deaf actor to win an Oscar

[@patiencekillz]

Also from DWSA!

[@yovonne7]

As a CODA this movie was so relatable... it amazing just to see Deaf actors and a movie about Deaf people as it is, but I never thought I would see a movie about people like me. 😭 Everyone did a fantastic job and I love it so much. Deserving of all the awards!! CONGRATULATIONS!! 🙌🤟🥲🤟

[@leeannlack6521]

The movie was terrific!

[@mariabreu3056]

Troy’s speech at the Oscars made me cry. CODA is a INCREDIBLE movie!!!

[@amycpooh88]

I’m disappointed that Emilia wasn’t nominated for an Oscar… but thrilled that the movie won best picture!

[@Peggy-Roses]

Agree! She is the one who is working so hard that she speaks, sings, and learns hands sign language for this movie She’s worth for the Oscar’s

[@cloverite]

She doesn’t tick a box so had no chance of a nomination

[@harveyskip]

Thank you for reminding me of that....for next upcoming Oscar discussion

[@margaretforsey7763]

For me, I was surprised that Daniel Durant was not nominated for best supporting actor. His performance really touched me. But hopefully we will see him in many more films in the future!

[@claudine2000]

Amazing interview! Thank you so much to the camera people and editors. You never cut away from the Deaf people when they were signing or zoomed in so far we couldn't see their full signs. The interpreters who were voicing and Kelly's interpreter did awesome as well. Closed captions too. This is what FULL ACCESS looks like! I can't wait to see the movie tomorrow, in the theater!!!

[@Allibehr1]

I am completely obsessed with this movie and the entire cast. I want to see more from these actors! Like for real, when is their next movie!!

[@patrickkelley2735]

I grew up with my parents signing at church, and it's incredible to see the deaf community being brought forward.

[@chrisb7142]

I know this isn't the full interview, so did Kelly's ASL music video "I Dare You To Love" get mentioned? That brought a lot of awareness to the deaf community as well - plus it is an amazing video!!

[@ShoujoJ]

How this whole episode went was brilliant 👏👏 The guests, Kelly, the translators and all the crew from the show did an amazing job ☺️ I haven't seen CODA yet, but now i can't wait 🤩

[@karenstark9235]

it's amazing! you'll love it. so funny, moving, educational, and inspirational. it leaves you with happy tears and feeling warm and fuzzy.

[@joeblazey048]

u have to see it!

[@sarahcalhoun2110]

Just watched it and it’s so good!

[@alexisbiles1295]

Hi

[@Adcougar]

Thank you for keeping sign language on the screen and audio voice over as well. Fantastic communication access. Well done!

[@CrystalMermaid6]

Loved the fog horn story An air b&b should definitely label the light switch that controls the fog horn so nobody accidentally turns it not

[@jwhaler82]

😆 That story cracks me up every time, and I love how "facially" expressive Daniel is while telling it.

[@darkblunts]

the way she silent claps to the way she makes the conversation flow so smoothly. I love her sm

[@snarkycharlies]

Just clicked on this movie randomly one night, had no idea what it was about. And wow! I loved it, I cried, it was beautiful! The accolades are well deserved.

[@aleksandrakorycka2716]

The original movie is even better I recommend to watch it too :)

[@Nohcal]

I did the same thing as you. I watched it on the first release day. I was more curious as to what CODA meant. So I had to watch it.

[@Jelly-ku7nn]

Can we take a min to applaud how Emillia did such a good job in this show while juggling a levels at the same time. It is def not easy!

[@leahmoore6820]

The interpreter in the corner! Yes! And captions! Every other talk show needs to learn this.

[@bizzybeegarden644]

Awesome job keeping everything inclusive by keeping the person signing or the interpreter on screen at all time! Great job interpreters, from a fellow interpreter! Brings tears to my eyes how beautiful “bridging the two cultures” ❤

[@solo_alien]

CODA is one of the best and extremely beautiful films I have seen in such a long time.

[@jonathanhoeffner573]

I loved u had a sign language interpertur. I think you should make it permanent

[@em1694_]

I swear Marlee doesn’t age at all! She’s beautiful

[@resourceress7]

I'M SO IMPRESSED that they made sure that all the signing people were on the screen even when the camera cut away to someone else!! That never happens but should be the way it always happens! EDIT: After I posted this comment, I came across an earlier interview of just Marlee on this show, and that is the absolute worst I have ever seen it done. They kept putting the interpreter on the camera instead of Marlee, sometimes even just Marlee's back. I'm pretty sure the Deaf community had some strongly worded responses, and perhaps instruction. This episode right here, is this show's redemption arc for how to keep sign language on the screen. Especially the actual signers who are the ones being interviewed!!!

[@jordantoronto863]

Oh my gosh, I love this conversation SO MUCH!!!!!!!

[@vonmercs5628]

It was so amazing that they are able to understand each other despite of different languages (sign and english), yes there is interpreter and it works..

[@edivaughan1746]

Thank you all very much!! Can't wait to see the movie.

[@christianreylumantao3578]

CODA is campaigning hard!! Its Oscar voting period! Go CODA!!

[@kabrinawright8409]

I came to the interview after watching the trailer. I definitely need to see this movie. This interview in itself should be nominated for an award - Really well done and very informative.

[@giuseppeianniello1998]

Did you know that the amazing Marlee Matlin is already an Oscar winner? She won Best Leading Actress at the age of 21 for the film Children of a Lesser God in 1987.

[@bowtoyoursensei554]

Also the youngest person to win a Best Actress Oscar.

[@utubefreshie]

Can't believe that movie was over 30 years ago. Marlee Matlin looks so good and doesn't look like she's aged a day!

[@Gemstar_70]

CODA is truly a refreshing movie which I immensely enjoyed watching. It touched all of my various emotions! Everyone should definitely go out and watch CODA, I guarantee y'all will love it!

[@AMentorway4u]

Beautiful people are everywhere if we open our hearts to let them in. Amazing movie. Brilliant actors and a powerful script.

[@daniromero5135]

I just feel the world would be a better place if we could sympathise and make SL a subject on school and a language that people learn, at least the basics, cause we never take a sec to think they have to adapt to us why not do the opposite 🤟🏽🥰

[@StarryDreamer28]

I have always been a huge fan of Daniel, Troy & Marlee. especially for DWSA so loved this movie!!

[@billyhorr7126]

Without a doubt one of the best movies EVER and for some reason im still crying

Definitely a front runner in the Oscar Best Picture. It won't be a surprise as this is the most genuine, heartfelt movie. 🤟🏽

[@BeverlyThomas-lh5iy]

I’m so glad people’s are really recognizing people who are deaf in our countries. I can relate to that because I am deaf and wearing hearing aids all my life I’m so happy to see this about people who are deaf . ❤️

[@matthewvivian7235]

@@tushar090786 The two films do have a fairly similar story, but it's actually just a coincidence, and wasn't inspired by Khamoshi: The Musical. It was however, loosely based on a French film called La Famille Belier, which is why it won Best Adapted Screenplay, not Best Original Screenplay.

What should be recognised here is that the original story is a well know movie in France named “la famille Belier” that had great success in 2014. The only difference is that in the original movie most of the actors weren’t actually deaf

If i can vote, i want CODA to win best picture this year. It reminds me of 80-90s films. So real and so simple yet so beautiful. The message is clear. Inclusion matters in fiction and real life.

CODA is a beautiful film

[@heidisignsasl]

Will watch this as soon as I can! I learned what CODA meant in high school and studied ASL in high school and college.

[@hannofranz7973]

Most people keep forgetting that Coda is just an adaptation of the French movie "La Famille Bélier" which is even more heart- warming. The original song "Je vole" is of extreme beauty and tells her parents in sign language that she has to leave to make up her own life. Coda is very well done, the original version is even better.
