Youn Yuh Jung’s Speech At The Academy Awards
She was given the award by Brad Pitt, whose production company, Plan B Entertainment, produces the film. Youn Yuh Jung got on stage and asked Pitt about his whereabouts while they were filming in Tulsa. She chuckled and then said that Europeans frequently call her Yoo Jung or Yuh Yung, but today she forgives all. Youn Yuh said that whenever she is in the other part of the world, she watches television. Sometimes, she watches Oscars and the people, but today she is standing herself on the stage, and she cannot believe it. Later, she thanked the academy members for voting for her. The actress also thanked her “Minari” family. Steven, Isaac, Ye Ri, Noel, Alan- she named them all and said that they are family. At last, she thanked Isaac Chung; she said that he was her captain and director- many thanks to him. Further, Youn Yuh said, “See, I don’t believe in competition. How can I win over Glenn Close? I’ve been watching so many of her performances. All the nominees, five nominees, we are the winners for the different movies. We played different roles, so we cannot compete with each other.” Youn Yuh mentioned that she won because she is luckier than the other nominees. Also, she mentioned that her win could be because of American hospitality for the Korean actor. She thanked her two boys and proudly displayed the award as a result. “Mommy works so hard.” She said. The actress showed her humbleness when she took a minute to thank her first director Kim Ki-Young and said that he would have been very happy to see me if he’d be alive.
Minari – A Perfection
Minari is truly an outstanding film. It is poignant and true to its idea. Minari was nominated in six categories at the 93rd Academy Awards- for Best Picture, Steven Yeun for Best Actor, Youn Yuh Jung for Best Supporting Actress, Lee Isaac Chung for Best Director, Lee Isaac Chung for Best Original Screenplay, and Emile Mosseri for Best Original Score. And they managed to take one of them home.
At the 78th Golden Globe Awards, Minari won the Best Foreign Language Film. The film is not stopping at all, and after Minari and Parasite, we can agree that Korea Cinema is no less than Hollywood. Last year, Parasite took home several awards at the Oscar, including Best Picture.
