'Parasite' Wins
Best Picture Oscar
and Makes History 'Parasite' is the first
foreign-language film
to win best picture. The film is also the first
South Korean production
to win an Academy Award. Director Bong Joon-ho took home
best original screenplay along with
co-writer Han Jin-won. Bong also received the best director
award and thanked fellow nominees,
particularly Martin Scorsese, whose
films he studied in school. The black comedy was also the first to win the new best international feature film award, which was formerly known as the best foreign language film category. Bong acknowledged the change, saying he was
“so happy to be its first recipient under the new
name” and that he “applauds and supports the
new direction that this change symbolizes.”
