For more about how Parasite's big night at the Oscars was truly historic:
Parasite
became the first foreign-language film to win Best Picture. Bong's social thriller proved to be an Academy darling, scooping up accolades for Original Screenplay, International Feature, and Directing, in addition to the night's top prize. Accepting the award, producer Kwak Sin-Ae said she was"speechless," adding,"We never imagined this to ever happen. We are so happy."
"I feel like a very opportune moment in history is happening right now," Kwak said, a reference to Parasite's history-making run this awards season, which started back in May at the Cannes Film Festival when the film won the Palme d'Or — the first South Korean film to do so."I express my deepest gratitude and respect for all the members of the Academy for making this decision.
