So the Oscars...

It won Best International Feature Film, Best Director, Best Original Screenplay, and Best Picture. After all that diversity talk rambling from Chris Rock and Steve Martin, it feels like they did it out of diversity/inclusion quota sake rather than actually winning some of these due to all the pressure from their own actors. Mind you Parasite is a great movie and it very much deserved most of those rewards but for Best Picture? It was against 1917 so I guess that's why it won.

If I were Bong Joon Ho I'd feel like a fraud. This isn't real acknowledgement.
