The 92nd edition of the Academy Awards took place last night, and amid much speculation and fanfare, ̶S̶i̶n̶n̶ ̶F̶é̶i̶n̶ ̶w̶e̶r̶e̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶ ̶b̶i̶g̶ ̶w̶i̶n̶n̶e̶r̶s̶ Parasite was the big winner on the night, adding a surprise Best Picture win to victories in the categories of Best International Feature, Best Original Screenplay and Best Director for Bong Joon-ho. On a night where Ireland’s own Eímear Noone conducted the ceremony, there was the usual mix of overdue wins, rambling speeches and head-scratching choices, but the successes for Parasite will ensure that cranks like Film In Dublin’s head writer still talk about the Oscars while insisting they’re not important.
The South Korean comedy-drama about a family in poverty who infiltrate the home of a rich one made history as the first film not in the English language to take the Best Picture prize. It’s a worthwhile winner that, if anything, could have earned a few more nominations in further categories, and you can check out our own review of the film, out now in Irish cinemas, soon.
Check out the full list of winners at the 2020 Oscars in bold below.
