CODA, which tells the story of a hearing daughter from a deaf family, has seen one of its stars, Troy Kotsur, picking up several prizes already this awards season. Is it a sign of real change on screen - and could it be about to sneak the best film Oscar from favourite Power Of The Dog?

It comes 35 years after Marlee Matlin, his on-screen wife in the film, won her best actress Oscar for Children Of A Lesser God.Troy Kotsur on his historic BAFTA win "We're talking about several deaf characters carrying a film that people will see now and finally realise that, oh okay, there are thousands of stories, universal stories that are within the deaf community, that need to be told and to be shared," she said.
