'CODA' actor Daniel Durant gets his Hollywood moment — in Minnesota

MINNEAPOLIS — Daniel Durant watched the Academy Award nominations in early February at his family's home in Duluth. He was in front of several screens, one of which was pointed at him.

"CODA", about a hearing girl and her deaf family, had just been nominated for Best Adapted Screenplay. Durant plays the girl's older brother.

Then Durant's on-screen father and off-screen mentor Troy Kotsur received a nod for Best Supporting Actor, making history as the first deaf male actor to be nominated for an Oscar.
