NEW YORK -- In his Oscar-nominated performance in “CODA,” Troy Kotsur has one spoken line, but it’s a good one.

When he was nominated for a BAFTA, he celebrated so much he fell out of his chair. Accepting the Gotham award for best supporting performance, he told the crowd that he wasn’t speechless but “absolutely handless right now.”“It’s just overwhelming,” Kotsur says of the acclaim. “It’s awesome.
