On Sunday, February 9, the annual, already 92nd in a row, the Oscar ceremony, the most prestigious award from the American Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, ended. For the first time in its history, the main prize in the form of a knight with a sword trampling on a reel of film with his feet was taken by a film in a foreign language.
In this review, we will tell you about the best film that won the main Oscar in 2020, as well as list the best films, actors and actresses in various nominations.
Here "Parasites", "Oscar" was taken
The battle for the top Hollywood trophy unfolded between such renowned contenders as Quentin Tarantino's Once Upon a Time ... in Hollywood, The Joker with Joaquin Phoenix, 1917 by Sam Mendes, Martin Scorsese's crime drama The Irishman and several others, about which we are in detail told in the rating of films-nominees for the Oscar in 2020.
But initially considered an outsider, director Bong Joon-ho's Parasites surpassed the competition with 6 awards over the course of the evening, becoming the first movie in Oscar history to speak a language other than English.
Many experts have prophesied the title of Oscar winner and best picture of 2020 for the war drama 1917, which has already won prestigious awards, including the Golden Globe for Best Drama and grand prizes from two major industry guilds: the Producers Guild of America and the Directors Guild. America.
By awarding Parasites, the Oscar jury slowed down Netflix's victorious march, which entered the fateful night with 24 nominations but won only two prizes. Perhaps it was a rebuke to the streaming TV giant for over-hyping the hype around Martin Scorsese's The Irishman, which Netflix billed as "one of the best films of the decade."
But Bong Joon Ho's film, whose directorial piggy bank includes such popular films as Okja and Through the Snow, even attracted well-wishers from competing films - Leonardo DiCaprio from Once Upon a Time in Hollywood and Noah Baumbach, director and screenwriter of Marriage stories".
“I was speechless,” said Kwak Shin-e, the producer of the winning Korean film. And he added that the creators of "Parasites" are happy, although they never imagined that their brainchild would still receive the main prize of the American Film Academy.
The thriller comedy seemed to hit the nerve of every viewer, thanks to the story of how the poor have outsmarted the rich. At least that's how it seems at the beginning of the film, when the cunning Kim family uses various subterfuges to get a job at the home of the wealthy Pak family.
But things go awry when the former employee returns to the Pak mansion to visit her husband, who is hiding from creditors, and discovers Kim's "little secret."
Parasite has grossed over $ 165 million worldwide since its release in October 2019.
