Bong Joon-ho's Parasite wins this year Oscar’s Gala

"Parasite" by Bong Joon-ho was awarded four Oscars on Sunday night, including for the best film, for directing and the original script.

This movie, the first Korean film nominated for an Oscar in history, also received the award in the category of best international film, winning, among others with Polish "Corpus Christi" by Jan Komasa and Spanish "Pain and Glory" by Pedro Almodovar.

"This category has just changed the name, so I'm glad that I became the first winner in it. I like the direction of changes proposed by the Academy, supporting international cinema,” Bong Joon-ho said.
