Oscar winners 2020: the full list
Bong Joon-ho’s class-centric thriller Parasite became the first foreign-language film to win Best Picture at the 2020 Oscars. The movie also won for Best Director, Best International Film and Best Original Screenplay. It marked the first time a South Korean film had won any Oscar.
1917, the film some expected to be the winner based on its Golden Globe and BAFTA wins, settled for Cinematography, Sound Mixing and Visual Effects awards.
The other categories largely skewed in predictable directions. All of the acting categories, including Joaquin Phoenix winning Best Actor for Joker and Renée Zellweger winning for Judy, lined up with expectations based on the results of the SAG Awards, BAFTAs and Golden Globes. Taika Waititi’s Jojo Rabbit won Best Adapted Screenplay.
Parasite’s win is a big deal. It’s an astonishing and frequently shocking film that has things to say about class that you’d never see expressed the same way in a Hollywood production. Given that the last couple of Best Picture winners weren’t exactly masterpieces, this is a fantastic result.
