On Sunday, February 9, the annual, already 92nd, award ceremony for the Oscar, the most prestigious award from the American Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, ended. For the first time in its history, the main prize in the form of a knight with a sword trampling the reel of film with his feet took a film in a foreign language.
In this review, we will talk about the best film that received the main Oscar in 2020, and also list the best films, actors and actresses in different categories.
Here are "Parasites", "Oscars" took
The fight for the top Hollywood trophy has unfolded between such illustrious contenders as Quentin Tarantino’s film “Once Upon a Time ... in Hollywood”, the movie “The Joker” with Joaquin Phoenix, “1917” by Sam Mendes, Martin Scorsese’s crime drama “The Irishman” and several others about which we detail told in the ranking of films nominees for an Oscar in 2020.
But the film "Parasites" directed by Pong Joon Ho, initially considered an outsider, outperformed all competitors, taking 6 awards during the evening, and became the first movie in the history of the Oscars, which "spoke" not in English.
Many experts have predicted the title of winner of the Oscars and the best picture of 2020 for the military drama 1917, which has already received prestigious awards, including the Golden Globe for the best drama and the main prizes from two main industry guilds: the Producers Guild of America and the Directors Guild America.
Having awarded the "Parasites", the jury of the "Oscars" slowed down the victorious procession of Netflix, which entered the "fateful night" with 24 nominations, but received only two prizes. It may have been a rebuke to the streaming television giant for over-inflating the hype around Martin Scorsese's Irishman, which Netflix positioned as "one of the best films of the decade."
But the film Pong Joon Ho, whose director's piggy bank includes such popular films as Okcha and Through Snow, even attracted well-wishers from competing films - Leonardo DiCaprio from Once Upon a Time in Hollywood and Noah Baumbakh, director and screenwriter of The Marriage stories".
“I am speechless,” said Kwak Shin-e, producer of the Korean winning film. And he added that the creators of "Parasites" are happy, although they never imagined that their brainchild would still receive the main prize of the American Film Academy.
The thriller comedy seemed to hurt the nerves of every viewer, thanks to the story of the poor who outwitted the rich. At least, it seems so at the beginning of the film, when the cunning Kim family uses various evasions to get work in the house of the wealthy Pak family.
But their affairs go awry when a former employee returns to the Packs mansion to visit her husband, who is hiding from creditors, and discovers Kim’s “little secret”.
The Parasite has raised more than $ 165 million worldwide since its release in October 2019.
Happiness Brad Pitt - the first Oscar in his acting career
For the first time in his acting career, Brad Pitt was among the winners of the Oscars. The coveted figurine went to him for the best supporting actor in "Once Upon a Time ... in Hollywood."
There, Pitt plays Cliff Booth, a longtime friend and understudy for aging movie star Rick Dalton (Leonardo DiCaprio). Together, filmmakers roam the cities in pursuit of former glory.
Pitt's main rivals included Joe Pesci, Al Pacino, Tom Hanks and Anthony Hopkins.
