Parasite was the big winner last night taking home four Oscars. It was a monumental win for international films as it was the first non-English language film to take home the Oscar’s biggest award, Best Picture. It was the first film from South Korea to ever be nominated for an Oscar. The visionary man behind Parasite, Bong Joon Ho, took home all four of the film’s awards given his work writing, directing, and producing it. The win was a bit of a surprise given that 1917 was the favorite to win Best Picture and Best Director for Sam Mendes. 1917 had won many of the other guilds and award ceremonies this award season. The Academy isn’t always as daring or progressive, which made predicting Parasite a winner feel like a stretch. 1917 did walk away with three Oscars for Best Cinematography, Visual Effects, and Sound Mixing.
The 2019 movie season is officially over, and we can look ahead as to what’s to come here in 2020. Are you happy with last night’s winners or were some of your favorite movies ignored by the Academy? Here’s hoping they bring back a host next year!
