Last night (February 09, 2020) in Los Angeles, Parasite made history as the first non-English-language film to win Best Picture at the Oscars.
The film nabbed four wins in total at the 92nd Academy Awards, including best director for Bong Joon Ho, international feature film and original screenplay for Bong and co-writer Han Jin-won.
Universalโs 1917 nabbed three wins: for visual effects, cinematography and sound mixing.
To no oneโs surprise, Renee Zellweger (Judy) and Joaquin Phoenix (Joker) took best actress and actor, with Laura Dern (Marriage Story) and Brad Pitt (Once Upon a Time โฆ in Hollywood) winning the supporting awards.
Both Phoenix and Zellweger spoke of our โcommonalityโ and what unites humanity despite our challenges. โI believe we have become very disconnected from the natural world,โ said Phoenix, a champion for animal rights who said he is an opponent of โismsโ such as racism.
Zellweger, whose parents came from Europe, won previously as supporting actress in Cold Mountain. She thanked the usual colleagues and collaborators, including โmy immigrant folks, who came here with nothinโ but each other and the American dream. How about this!โ She also thanked a long list of people she admired, including Fred Rogers, first responders โ โour heroes.โ She said that although Judy Garland, the screen icon Zellweger portrays in the film, never won an adult Oscar, she considered this award โcertainly for you.โ
Eminem Confused Everyone
Lin-Manuel Miranda introduced a song medley at the 92nd Academy Awards, and it appeared it was just another compilation of songs in movies that have had an impact.
But then โฆ Eminem came on stage to perform โLose Yourselfโ and received a standing ovation from the crowd.
Although those at home seemed torn. Some took to Twitter to praise the performance and some were shaking their heads as to why he was there.
Janelle Monae Oscar Opening
Before the actors and actresses take the stage to give their speeches, we get an opening number. Channeling A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood, Joker, and even Midsommar, Janelle Monae brought the song and dance in a big way.
Hostless Oscars
Steve Martin and Chris Rock should be brought back next year as Oscar hosts.
Or Maya Rudolph and Kristen Wiig.
