The Best Picture race was expected to come down to Parasite versus 1917, and the British war epic looked to have the upper hand after winning three technical awards early in the ceremony.

 

There was a shift however when Bong Joon Ho won in the Best Director category, beating Sam Mendes.

 

Shortly after Jane Fonda presented the final award and history was made, much to the delight of the crowd who gave the cast and producers a lengthy standing ovation.

 

There was a second ovation soon after as well when the producers of the telecast tried to end the night by turning off the lights as the Oscars 2020 winners were delivering their speeches.

I've just watched it - 2hours 11mins. Thought it was pretty good, even if it is in Korean with subtitles.

I don't watch these types of shows. So the Oscars is for films all around the world? That can't be true. Is this just Hollywood trying to play social justice warrior by bringing in a few outsiders? Americans vote who wins isn't international when there are billions of other people in the world.

You are ahead of me. I had not even heard about it until yesterday.

Ha ha, that's when I first heard about it too. It's available out there, released almost a year ago.

Great flick for the first 90 minutes but ending feels a bit contrived.
