2020 Academy of Motion Picture Arts awards night was made in Korea. Prior to the show, with eleven nominations, it looked like it would be a night made for the “Joker” in the mix. Predictably, “Joker” actor Joaquin Phoenix won the Lead Actor award, the night belonged to Bong Joon Ho the Korean director and producer of “Parasite” – “Parasite” won Best Director, Best International Feature Film, Best Original Score, and Best Picture shattering the record board and becoming the first movie not in the English Language to take home the biggest award in motion pictures on the planet. There are those who will see this as a sentimental decision by voters of the award who might be sick of writers in Huffpost and guests in CNN bashing them for their Anglo-Saxon posture in the most coveted category and even elsewhere, but this is a story for another day. Today is about the winners, just a list of them. So here is the full list of Oscar 2020 Winners. Tomorrow we can have our war.
Aside: Brad Pitt finally has an Oscar for acting, now order has been restored to the universe. Not really as Another Aside shows that Quentin Tarantino is yet to get an Oscar in a career that made dozens of films, a couple of them great movies and a few of them legendary. Scarlett Johansson— Final Aside: Today is not the day to fight and bicker and point accusing fingers. Today is about the people who won and the beautiful stories behind each Academy triumph.
