HOLY SHIT! Parasite just became the first non-English language film to win the Oscar for the Best Picture.
The Korean film which had 6 nominations walking in tonight is walking away with 4 Oscars, the other three being Best Original Screenplay, Best International Film and Best Director.
For the uninitiated, it is a satirical thriller about a hard-up family who manage to infiltrate the lives of a much richer one.
It follows two of Joo-ho’s successful English-language films: Snowpiercer and Okja.
Needless to say, this legendary, once-in-a-lifetime moment has driven Twitter absolutely bonkers.
This is progress, truly. It’s been almost a century but thank god, we somehow got here. Anyway, here’s a gif of Bong Joon-ho staring at his first Oscar.
