It is only the sixth movie in Oscar history to get both the Picture and International Film nods, and the 11th foreign language film nominated for Best Picture.
Director Bong this morning struggled to reconcile with the extraordinary reaction since the movie won the Palme d’Or after its Cannes Film Festival premiere. “I feel it’s like,” he joked through his translator and filmmaker Sharon Choi, who has followed him throughout the season. “Soon I’m going to wake up and realize this was all a dream, I’m still in the middle ofand all the equipment is malfunctioning. I see the catering truck on fire and I’m wailing.
Whether the series will be in English or Korean, the director said, was open for discussion as plans started to form around March. But Parasite’s success this morning includes a remarkable first Best Picture nomination for Korean cinema, which has a storied history. After winning the Golden Globe last weekend, the director spoke of the need for audiences to assail the “one-inch tall barrier of subtitles,” to discover more cinema.
“When I was creating this film, I didn’t intend or aim for any of these things to happen.

This is very rare for Asia and Korea for a movie to be nominated for categories like Best Picture and Best Director.
