They were up against strong contenders “Once Upon a Time … in Hollywood”, “Marriage Story”, “Knives Out”, and “1917”.

The cast and crew couldn’t help but shout for joy when the winner was announced!

This marks the first Oscar win for a Korean film.

We never write to represent our countries, but this is the very first Oscar [for] South Korea.

Parasite is a film of class struggle that follows the poor Kim family’s infiltration into the lives of the rich Park family.
