"CODA" follows teenage Ruby as she juggles her musical ambitions with her family's dependence on her to communicate with the "hearing" worldLOS ANGELES - Hollywood's producers named"CODA," a heartwarming indie drama about a deaf family, the year's best film at their annual gala Saturday, throwing the race for next weekend's Oscars wide open.
"I have always been drawn to stories that are filled with humanity," said producer Philippe Rousselet, accepting the award. "Encanto" won the PGA's best animated film, strengthening its own Oscars bid before voting ends Tuesday. "George and I met as two of the most nerdy film junkies in California... Across all the years we competed against each other, we propped each other up, we cheered each other on. We made each other better," said Spielberg.
"There's a whole group of them -- everybody around is like 'Oh, digital, that's not movies, that's something else!'" he said, as Spielberg laughed off-stage.
