The 92nd annual Academy Awards were handed out last night. There were very few surprises, good or bad. I was very happy to see Bong Joon-Ho and “Parasite” win big. Watching Bong give his surprised acceptance of the Oscar for Best Director was one of the highlights of the night. I am really excited for the massive increase in attention “Parasite” now has. It is now the first movie not in the English language to win Best Picture, hopefully encouraging many more people to seek it out. For my full review of “Parasite,” click here. My one disappointment was probably Renée Zellweger’s win for Best Actress in “Judy.” Since the nominations were announced several weeks ago, I have seen “Judy,” and I would say Zellweger’s performance was about the only thing about the movie which I did not hate. However, I really think Scarlett Johansson was more deserving of the Oscar for her powerful performance in “Marriage Story.” I guess I was pleasantly surprised to see Eminem on stage performing his classic Oscar winning song “Lose Yourself,” though I would say his appearance certainly made it even more obvious this year’s batch of nominees for Best Original Song were all pretty unremarkable comparatively.
