Bong Joon’s class satire Parasite has been one of the season’s darlings, despite failing to garner any Academy Award nominations for its cast.

Parasite won four Oscars, including best director for Bong Joon. All were the first Oscars for a Korean film. Bong Joon and co-writer Han Jin Won became the first Asian writers to take the screenplay prize.

Earlier in the night, a standing ovation greeted Bong Joon’s win for international film. “I am ready to drink tonight,” said Bong Joon to roars from the crowd. Unexpectedly called up again for best director, Bong Joon saluted his fellow nominees, particularly Martin Scorsese, and concluded: “Now I’m ready to drink until tomorrow.”

The Dolby Theatre erupted in raucous applause after the win was announced.
