]]>Parasite made history at the 92nd Academy Awards becoming the first foreign-language film to win Best Picture beating the obvious front runners, The Irishman, Marriage Story, Joker, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, 1917, Ford v Ferrari, Jojo Rabbit, and Little Women.
The South Korean thriller directed by Bong Joon-Ho, started off the night winning Best Original Screenplay, followed by the International Feature Film Prize, and ending the night beating 1917’s Sam Mendes for Best Director.
After the four wins, director Bong Joon-Ho said backstage that “it’s really f—ing crazy! I’m just a very strange person. I just did what I always did with producer Kwak. I feel like something will hit me and I will wake up from this dream.”
When accepting the Oscar on stage Kwak said, “I’m speechless. We never imagined this to ever happen, we are so happy. I feel like a very opportune moment in history is happening in history right now. I express my deepest gratitude and respect for all the members of the Academy for making this decision.”
Other winners of the night included Renée Zellweger (Judy), Joaquin Phoenix (Joker), Laura Dern (Marriage Story), and Brad Pitt (Once Upon a Time in Hollywood) who won the four acting categories. Although Sam Mendes’ 1917 went into the night with 10 nominations, it only went home with three Oscars in technical categories.
