This is the first ever non-English movie to win the Academy's highest award. It won over other nominees 1917, Ford v Ferrari, The Irishman, Jojo Rabbit, Joker, Little Women, Marriage Story and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.
In fact, only 11 non-English movies were ever nominated for the Oscars; 6 of which were also nominated for Best Foreign Film (now the Best International Feature Film) category.
When the producer Kwak Sin-Ae received the award, she happily stated that.
I’m speechless. We never imagined this to ever happen, we are so happy. I feel like a very opportune moment in history is happening right now. I express my deepest gratitude and respect for all the members of the Academy for making this decision.Congratulations to Parasite. This win may pave the way for future international and non-English films to be recognized by the Academy.
