South Korean black comedy Parasite turned out to be the biggest winner at the 92nd Academy Awards ceremony at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood in the western U.S. city of Los Angeles on Sunday night.
Besides nabbing Best Picture, the genre-bending class thriller also won Best Director for Bong Joon-ho, Best International Feature Film and Best Original Screenplay.
Parasite also made history at the 92nd Academy Awards by becoming the first foreign-language film to win best picture.
There are nine nominees for best picture award this year, including psychological thriller Joker, mob drama The Irishman, and comedy drama Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. In particular, Parasite beat strong competition from Sam Mendes' World War I epic 1917, another front-runner with 10 nominations.
Bong, director of Parasite, also defeated heavy favorite Mendes to win Best Director.
The commercially-viable and adroitly-written drama on the weighty subject of class warfare follows the members of a poor household scheming to become employees of a much wealthier family by posing as unrelated, highly-qualified individuals.
After winning Best International Feature, I thought I was done for the day and ready to relax, Bong quipped in his acceptance speech.
Bong paid tribute to his fellow nominees, particularly Scorsese and Tarantino.
When I was young and studying cinema, there was a saying that I carved deep into my heart, which is 'the most personal is the most creative.' That quote was from our great Martin Scorsese. When I was in school, I studied Martin Scorsese's films, he said.
Just to be nominated was a huge honor, he added. I never thought I would win.
When people in the U.S. were not familiar with my film, Quentin always put my films on his list. He is here, thank you so much, he added.
The humble Asian director went on to acknowledge the rest of his fellow nominees by saying If the Academy allows, I would like to get a Texas chainsaw, split the Academy Award into five, and share it with all of you.
Renee Zellweger took home the Best Actress Award for her performance as famed U.S. singer and actress Judy Garland in the biographical drama film Judy.
This is Zellweger's second Oscar win. She has won the Best Supporting Actress in 2004 for her role in the epic U.S. Civil War romance Cold Mountain. Zellweger has been widely considered as this awards season's favorite. She had previously won her fourth Golden Globe for best actress. She was also the winner at the British Academy Film Awards and Screen Actors Guild Awards.
Joaquin Phoenix won the Best Actor Award for his performance as a loner clown in psychological thriller film Joker. This is Phoenix's fourth Oscar nominations but first win, beating out strong rivals including Antonio Banderas (Pain and Glory), Leonardo DiCaprio (Once Upon a Time in Hollywood), Adam Driver (Marriage Story) and Jonathan Pryce (The Two Popes).
Phoenix had already taken home trophies at the Golden Globes, Critics' Choice, Screen Actors Guild, and British Academy Film Awards for his role in the film as Arthur Fleck, a failed stand-up comedian who descended into insanity and nihilism.
Laura Dern took the gold statue for Best Supporting Actress for her brittle performance in Marriage Story. It's Dern's first Oscar win, beating out Kathy Bates, Scarlett Johansson, Florence Pugh and Margot Robbie.
Dern has dominated the category at the Golden Globes, Screen Actors Guild, and British Academy Awards this season for her portrayal of Nora Fanshaw, a high-powered divorce lawyer in the drama film.
She thanked Noah Baumbach, director and screenwriter of Marriage Story for a movie about love, and about breaching divisions.
The actress also thanked her actor parents, Bruce Dern and Diane Ladd, calling them acting legends and her heroes. Dern, whose birthday is Monday, finished her acceptance speech by saying, This is the best birthday present ever.
Brad Pitt nabbed the Best Supporting Actor award for his role in the film Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.
Pitt beat out the Irishman duo Al Pacino and Joe Pesci, Tom Hanks (A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood) and Anthony Hopkins (The Two Popes). Pitt had never won an acting Oscar despite three previous nominations. He won a Best Picture Oscar for producing 12 Years a Slave in 2014. He has raked in the Golden Globe and Screen Actors Guild awards as well as a British Academy award for his role as Cliff Booth in Quentin Tarantino's One Upon a Time in Hollywood this season.
Toy Story 4 won the best animated feature. It was produced by Pixar Animation Studios for Walt Disney Pictures. Toy Story 3, the series' third installment, took home the same trophy in 2011.
American Factory won the award for best documentary feature. It's the first film from the former U.S. first couple Barack and Michelle Obama's production company Higher Ground Productions in partnership with Netflix, beat out The Cave, The Edge of Democracy, For Sama and Honeyland in the documentary feature category.
Directed by Steven Bognar and Julia Reichert, the documentary is about Chinese company Fuyao's factory in the U.S. state of Ohio bringing jobs to unemployed Americans and the ups and downs along the way.
Thank you to everyone who trusted us to tell your stories, said Bognar in his acceptance speech.
As the film involves both Americans and Chinese, it really could be from anywhere that people put on a uniform, punch a clock, trying to make their families have a better life, said Reichert.
Reichert honored working people in her acceptance speech, noting that they have it harder and harder these days.
We believe that things will get better when workers of the world unite, she added.
