Oscars 2020: ‘Parasite’ pulls off shock wins as it dominates the night

The South Koreran movie beat off competition from the likes of 'Joker' and '1917'

The Oscars 2020 took place in Los Angeles tonight (February 9) and were dominated by Bong Joon-ho’s Parasite.

The Joaquin Phoenix-starring Joker went into the night with the most nominations, with 11 nods in categories such as Best Picture, Adapted Screenplay and Best Actor for Phoenix. The Irishman was close behind with 10 nods, including two Supporting Actor nominations (Joe Pesci, Al Pacino) and Best Director for Martin Scorsese. Sam Mendes’ WWI film 1917 also racked up 10 nods.

Despite this, Parasite came out on top on the night, taking home Best International Film, Best Original Screenplay, Best Director for Bong Joon-ho, and Best Picture. It is the first South Korean movie to win an Oscar and the first non-English language film to take home Best Picture.
