South Korean filmmaker Bong Joon-ho’s thriller Parasite made history at last night’s Oscars, sweeping all the major awards including Best Picture, Best Director, Best International Film, and Best Original Screenplay. It’s the first non-English-language film to win Best Picture.

The WSJ reports: “For South Korea, the news provided a spell of relief from coronavirus. Mr. Bong instantly became the country’s top search term. Art house cinemas added new screenings. Foreigners flocked to a homely neighborhood supermarket featured in the film’s opening scenes, snapping photos and congratulating the stunned owners. ‘How great is this!’ the 74-year-old shopkeeper told local media. ‘It’s a miracle,’ said Miky Lee, a senior executive at South Korea’s CJ Group, one of the film’s financiers and distributors, in an interview. ‘Everybody, I mean we were just looking at each other. It was just amazing.’ She added that she hopes the film’s awards propel other Asian filmmakers looking for success overseas.”

The acting awards went as predicted (our film critic was off by 5 overall). What was your favorite moment of the show?
