It was a moment of pride for the South Korean film industry after Parasite bagged the highest number of awards at the 92nd Academy Awards over the weekend. The Korean drama film not only won Best International Film but also bagged the Oscar for Best Directing and Best Picture. Soon enough, the internet was flooded with congratulatory messages addressing director Bong Joon Ho and the team of Parasite. BTS joined social media users to congratulate Parasite for their historic win. 

Parasite made history at the 2020 Academy Awards on Sunday (February 9, 2020) as it became the first non-English language film to be crowned Best Picture.

The Oscars 2020 made a whole lot of noise in India on Monday morning as the best in the entertainment business were awarded. From Hollywood's A-listers to filmmakers and talent from all over, the Oscars this year did not disappoint despite majorly snubbing women directors.

In a neck-and-neck race between and, the latter ultimately came out on top, taking home the Oscar for Best Picture during Sunday's 92nd annual Academy Awards.

The 2020 awards season darling,, made Oscars history on Sunday, with major wins and surprising upsets for director Bong Joon-ho's dark comedy-thriller — which ultimately won four of its six nominations.

Neon’s “Parasite” made history on Sunday night at the 92nd Academy Awards, becoming the first foreign-language film ever to win a best picture Oscar.

Nine films have been nominated for Best Picture. This includes Parasite, 1917, Jo Jo Rabbit, Joker, Ford v Ferrari, Once Upon A Time in Hollywood, Marriage Story and Little Women. While several bets are placed on Parasite taking home the Academy Award for Best Picture this year, there are also predictions that 1917 and Joker stand a chance to win the Best Picture award.

Putting all of the cynicism and bad vibes aside, it's worth noting that there are tons of really good movies that have won Best Picture!

Ryan Reynolds is currently busy promoting his gin while sharing friendly banter with his "rival" Hugh Jackman. His last release was the Netflix film, Six Underground, which received mixed reviews but was still watched by millions, thanks to his charming, witty screen presence.

If Oscars voters cast their ballots in line with YouTube movie fans, Joaquin Phoenix-starrer “Joker” will be the winner on Sunday.

Celebrities can rehearse for the Oscars all they want, but when the big night finally arrives and the cameras start rolling, no one is completely prepared.
