Parasite makes history at the 92nd Academy Awards with Best Picture win

February 10, 2020 by Gary Collinson

Bong Joon Ho’s Parasite made history at the 92nd Academy Awards last night, becoming the first ever non-English language film to be honoured with the Oscar for Best Picture.

Parasite collected four awards in total, adding Best Director, Best Original Screenplay and Best International Feature Film to its Best Picture win, while 1917 – a favourite going into the ceremony – had to settle for three wins in the technical categories.

There were no surprises on the acting front, as Joaquin Phoenix (Best Actor for Joker), Renee Zelleweger (Best Actress for Judy), Brad Pitt (Best Supporting Actor for Once Upon a Time in Hollywood) and Laura Dern (Best Supporting Actress for Marriage Story) all picked up Oscars to add to their recent BAFTAs.
