Bong-Joon Ho, the director of the black comedy-thriller, Parasite, was forthcoming. “I feel like something will hit me and I will wake up from this dream,” he said after Parasite won four awards, with Bong bagging the best director’s trophy. All Oscar predictions considered Parasite a critically acclaimed film, but said it would require a real show of intent from the Academy if it was to win any of its nominations other than the best international film.
