And the Academy Award goes to… Parasite<\/em>! <\/p>\n

The 2020 Oscars<\/a> has named its Best Picture recipient, officially marking quite a finale to another awards season. Parasite<\/em> makes history as the first non-English language film to win Best Picture. It won four of the six categories<\/a> it was nominated in, including Best Foreign Language Film, Best Original Screenplay and Best Director. <\/p>\n

Parasite<\/em>‘s executive producer Kwak Sin-ae<\/strong>, director Bong Joon-ho<\/strong>, and cast took the stage inside the Dolby Theatre to accept the Oscar, which was presented by Jane Fonda<\/a><\/strong>. <\/p>\n

“I’m speechless,” Sin-ae shared via a translator. “We never imagined this to ever happen. We are so happy. I feel like a very opportune moment in history is happening right now. I express my deepest gratitude and respect for all the members of the Academy for making this decision.”<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

South Korean movie mogul Milky Lee<\/strong> stole the show with her acceptance speech, sharing, “Hi, everybody. I’d really like to thank director Bong. Thank you for being you. I like everything about him. His smile, his crazy hair, the way he talks, the way he walks. And especially the way he directs. And what I really like about him is his sense of humor and the fact that he can make fun of himself and he never takes himself seriously.”<\/p>\n

Lee continued, “I’d like to thank everybody who has been supporting Parasite<\/em> and who has been working with Parasite<\/em> and who has been loving Parasite<\/em>.”<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n
