Parasite Sweeps The 2020 Oscars With Four Awards And Twitter Can’t Handle It
“Parasite” made history at the 92nd Academy Awards as the first non-English speaking film to ever win Best Picture. The South Korean film also took home awards for Best Original Screenplay, Best International Feature Film and Best Director. Bong Joon-Ho, the flick’s director, joked, “I’m ready to drink tonight!” as he accepted an award. The film beat out favorites like “1917” and “Once Upon A Time…In Hollywood,” which led to tons of Twitter reactions! We’ve compiled the best tweets about the big night for “Parasite.”
MASSIVE! HISTORIC! LANDMARK! PARASITE! The world is big and it is beautiful and films from everywhere deserve to be on that stage winning @TheAcademy’s highest honor. This is wonderful and right. #Oscars pic.twitter.com/Q8go53lqmd

Bong Joon Ho 100% knows he made the best movie of the year & I love that energy. Sorry to see the #Parasite crew leave us after this epic awards season, but wishing them safe travels & much deserved celebration at home. pic.twitter.com/9Pc1cU4lIl

So many Korean-American kids are watching this and they won’t know how far Korean art and music has come because of the incredible success of Parasite and BTS. That’s the impact they will have. That is the history they are writing. So proud. ?

Language is a core expression of identity. Subtitles do not divide or disqualify – they’re gateways into incredible stories you might have otherwise never known.
Tonight I heard the language of my family on the Oscars stage. ?? I can’t wait to hear many, many more… #Parasite pic.twitter.com/rqFdQwX4t4
