South Korean Filmmaker Bong Joon-ho Breaks the Highest Ceiling At the 92nd Academy Awards




South Korean Filmmaker,  Bong Joon-ho shattered the highest ceiling at the 92nd The Academy Awards!


Thank you. After winning best international feature, I thought I was done for the day and was ready to relax.
Thank you so much. When I was young and studying cinema, there was a saying that I carved deep into my heart, which is that "The most personal is the most creative."
That quote is from our great Martin Scorsese. When I was in school, I studied Martin Scorsese's films. Just to be nominated was a huge honor. I never thought I would win.
When people in the U.S. were not familiar with my films, Quentin [Tarantino] always put my films on his list. He's here, thank you so much. Quentin, I love you.
And Todd [Phillips] and Sam [Mendes], great directors that I admire. If the Academy allows, I would like to get a Texas chainsaw, split the award into five and share it with all of you.
Thank you. I will drink until next morning, thank you.
It was an historic Sunday night of February 9, 2020 at the 92nd Academy Awards held in Dolby Theatre at the Hollywood & Highland Center, honouring the best films released in 2019.

Bong Joon-ho won four of the most coveted Academy Awards for the Best Picture, 
Best Director, Best Original Screenplay and Best International Picture.
His film, "Parasite" became the first non-English language film to win the Oscar for Best Picture in the 92-year history of the Academy Awards.

"I feel like I'll wake up to find it's all a dream. It all feels very surreal," Bong said.
