For 92 years, every single Best Picture winner was an English-language film. That changed in 2020 when Bong Joon-ho’s 'Parasite' made history. The South Korean thriller didn't just win Best International Feature; it took home Best Original Screenplay, Best Director, and the night’s top prize, Best Picture. Director Bong famously joked in his Golden Globes speech that once Americans 'overcome the one-inch tall barrier of subtitles,' they would be introduced to so many more amazing films. 'Parasite' was a global phenomenon that resonated with its themes of class warfare and social inequality. Its win is considered one of the most significant shifts in Academy history, signaling a move toward a more global and inclusive perspective for the world's most famous film awards.
