Bong Joon Ho’s film Parasite picked up the Oscar for Best Picture.
Parasite won over Martin Scorsese’s The Irishman, Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon a Time … in Hollywood, Greta Gerwig’s Little Women, Noah Baumbach’s Marriage Story, 1917, Jojo Rabbit, and Joker.
Parasite is a satire about a struggling working-class family who ingratiate themselves as domestic workers in the lives of a wealthy family, a relationship that harrowingly exposes their class divide.
It’s the first non-English-language film ever to win the prestigious honor.
