In the 92nd year of Oscar history, a total of ten international films were nominated for the best film. However, Roma won three Oscars for best film. Parasite finally broke the tab of that subtitle in a foreign film. This is why Director Bong Joon-ho can get a thank you. He won behind legendary directors like Martin Scorsese, Quentin Tarantino and Sam Mendes. This win is not flattering.
This year, Oscar Fizziness has been named a Parasite by Foreign Film. Winning the Golden Globes this year, Bong Joon-ho said, “The movie can be enjoyed from the moment we start watching movies from two inches above the subtitle.” For that reason, they said it was an English film. Therefore, it cannot be excluded in the Foreign Category. Meanwhile English but official language of Nigeria. What kind of trial? For all such considerations, Oscar will never be free from scandal.
Joaquin Phoenix, who revived the Joker character, won the Oscar for Best Actor. This year he shook the silver screen with Joker.

For the second time in the history of 92 years of Oscar-winning two Oscars were performed. This is also the second Oscar win for any comic book character.

And talk about something relevant. Many question the Oscar criteria. Speaking of which, every year, some blender will make it happen. Martin Scorsese’s The Irishman, like this one, didn’t win one of the ten nominations. The question remains as to whether the Academy members are reluctant to watch Netflix’s production. There were also excellent films like The Lighthouse or Uncut James, neglected at this year’s Oscars.
Since we are accustomed to watching a Hollywood movie, we also see the prize distribution hype. Their opinion on the film can be evaluated a little tight. But the game is all about glamor. So they know how to take away the attraction. At present, the possibility of winning is made only by creating hype. But there was a time when Pacino or Caprio had to wait for the Oscars to win. Even though the hype is high, that tension is no longer there.
