'CODA' Tops PGA 2022 Winners — Is Oscar Next?

"CODA," the much-loved coming-of-age drama about a young woman who is the only hearing member of a deaf family, stunned the Producers Guild Awards Saturday, taking the Darryl F. Zanuck Award for Outstanding Producer of Theatrical Motion Pictures.

The top prize is the guild's version of Best Picture, and has successfully predicted Oscar's Best Picture 22 out of 32 times.

"CODA" — the acronym stands for children of deaf adults — snagged the honor over Oscar front-runner "The Power of the Dog," leading many pundits to suggest "CODA" is now slightly favored to win Oscar gold in spite of its relatively few (three) nominations.
