Allison Williams, Alexander Dreymon Seal Oscars Date Night With a Kiss

The actor—who won the Oscar last year for his supporting role in CODA—arrived on the champagne carpet with his wife. During his interview on Live From E!, Troy reflected on his history-making Academy Award, in which he became the first deaf male actor to win an Oscar.

“Well most importantly is when I mentioned that my award was dedicated to the Deaf community, the disabled community and the CODA community, I saw that inspire so many folks, and I believe it’s opening many more doors and opportunities,” he said. “So I’m seeing much more diversity and inclusion in Hollywood. So that’s what was quite inspiring about my moment. And of course, we haven’t seen a deaf male actor for quite a while. Ever since Marlee Matlin, the female winner in the ’80s. And Marlee said, ‘I’m not alone anymore,’ which was really touching.”
