As inflation continues to soar, gas prices skyrocket, and the southern border crisis goes unaddressed, President Joe Biden (D) spent time this week rubbing elbows with Hollywood stars as the cast of the Oscar-nominated movie CODA visited the White House.
In a video posted to First Lady Jill Biden’s social media accounts, the cast — including Marlee Matlin, Troy Kotsur, Emilia Jones, and Daniel Durant — toured the White House and looked on as the U.S. Marine Band performed music from the movie.
Later, President Biden mingled with the CODA cast in the Oval Office.
“I assume you understand the impact you had on the whole country,” the president said. “It helped so many people.”
Watch below:
CODA is considered a frontrunner for best picture at Sunday’s Oscars ceremony. The Apple TV+ tearjerker tells the story of a working class deaf family in Massachusetts and the emotional strain they experience when the family’s only hearing member — 17-year-old Ruby (Emilia Jones) — decides she wants to become a singer.
It is a remake of the 2014 French film La Famille Bélier.
Matlin, who plays the family matriarch, revealed earlier this week that Joe and Jill Biden both watched the movie and loved its “theme of family authenticity.”
