And the Oscar goes to .... the world's fastest translator

[@mikayocc]

She's so incredible!!

[@tlzms_endrornfl]

👍👍👍👍👍

[@tylerh1897]

Right?! I thought the same thing. She’s the best translator I’ve seen so far. Unlike those on the Miss Universe. They suck lol

[@808slowly]

She is a rock star! She went to college in the US and is actually an intern in the movie business I think.

[@이커피-v1q]

I have never seen a translator like her

[@Flipside3D]

To me this whole campaign made me realize what kind of a person Bong Joon Ho is, every interview he does makes me like him more and more

[@mariavaz7067]

exactly, I never cared about directors, I might know a few names, but that's just it, I'd just be hyped about the actors, and I love the actor that does the father of the rich family but I don't even care. I haven't seen such a nice person as Bong Joon Ho in a very long time. I just love him. He's my favorite from this crew. And I also think I like the translator, although it's unfair cause she's getting points from what the crew says xD so I enojoyed the last guy asking about her, she deserved some attention

[@budiindrawan3567]

Yesss

[@budiindrawan3567]

I'm not Korean but I'm so feeakin proud

[@agungfaisal7269]

Dont be indo over proud club

[@ejadsexpressions]

Your Malaysian neighbour agrees!

[@hahm99]

Because you are such a good person who has broader sympathy and understanding without any prejudice. I am Korean, but I admire and respect people like you deeply. And I feel proud that we have people like you on this earth.

[@nickraoyj]

Because it's Asian representation ^_^ greetings from Singapore

[@finnyforever08]

I'm Indian and I'm also proud!!! Also he conducts himself like a boss without any cultural hangups.

[@mitaw4424]

While we Asians are celebrating him for representing us, Bong himself doesn’t really feel like he’s representing anything. He’s just making film. That’s it. And true, there are many great Asian directors. How humble he is.

[@cloudy_3]

@Smirk he is saying Bong doesn't make films thinking, "I'm gonna do this for Korea!" He does it with his own passion and his own artistry, just wanting to create an amazing story to share with the world. It's just a great bonus that he is Asian representing the Asian community and Korea with his talent. His win opened the door for future non-English films to be considered for more than just a foreign title. He even talks about this.

[@hjwscott]

Smirk you’re an idiot

[@TaYLoRBReaKouT]

Smirk you are truly clueless

[@apachers2807]

@Smirk Reading comprehension really wasn't your strong suit in Elementary, was it?

[@mitaw4424]

Smirk said Bong him self. You should watch all his interviews, he’s been questioned about it so many times. I’m sorry if you’re 12 and don’t understand his meaning yet.

[@Sexandcats]

The translator needs to compile all the translated material in her notebook into a book. I will definitely buy it.

[@chloeiversen3043]

From what I understand about interpreting, what they write down is just symbols that they understand. Wired made a good video explaining how interpreting works and they showed examples of these notes. So basically if they did turn it into a book, it'd be nonsense

[@AllTooLavenderHaze]

So true

[@RaymondHng]

Conference interpreter Barry Slaughter Olsen explains what it's really like to be a professional interpreter. Barry goes behind the scenes of his vocation, breaking down the many real-life scenarios he faces on a day-to-day basis. From simultaneous and consecutive interpretation to chuchotage and décalage, take a peek behind what it really takes to be a professional interpreter. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qqimoZygp8R6m7M

Saw all the best pictures nominated movies and I thought Parasite was the best. Well deserved.

[@cindymmm11]

KCL 5 , agree

[@DoctorXander]

I think 1917 was the best with Parasite as a close second, but I'm weirdly happier with this outcome. Parasite had a kind of underdog narrative going in, whereas 1917 seemed like the obvious winner. Plus now way more people I know have actually heard of Parasite and I'll be able to talk to them about it, which I find exciting.

[@paulenekim8845]

Parasite was the clear winner. Period

[@Usernameisavailabe]

That translator deserves her own Oscar. What a lady!

[@marshaloiscamillephilpotts1454]

Bong Joon Ho understands English very well because you can tell when he listens intently to the reporters questions and he can speak English well too but he chooses to speak his language Korean and he uses the amazing Sharon Choi to translate for him and the rest of them, she has become a star during this award season for her perfect, subtle and nuance translating and she wants to be director so I hope people give her chance to be one and Parasite is the best and the movie deserves all the Oscars it got.

[@GoogleVideoMan]

He can speak English fairly well, but imagine how well he can speak in Korean.

Congratulations to this incredible man the cast and everyone involved in making this masterpiece, cheers!

Agree. All his speeches are on the art itself and his respect to his predecessors and fellow filmakers. No cringe woke political bullshit

[@Endubis]

@@ihsantriapramanda1973 Sometimes it's good to use the platform to speech out some deep issues. Like Joaquin Phoenix did in the Golden Globes and in the BAFTA. But it had to be balanced - don't use every award for a political or social criticism.

[@fluffywhitemanju]

I appreciate your sentiment but Parasite was in fact a very political movie, just not in the fake, performative way Hollywood likes to do it.

[@itakivi4718]

@fluffywhitemanju hey mate, I'm sorry if I wasn't too specific in the first part of my comment where I brought up how he didn't make it all about the politics I was referring to his answers during this segment when he was being constantly asked questions pertaining to his race....I was actually impressed with his answers and how he handled himself.

[@tiagomoreira9941]

That interpreter is Sharon Choi. She isn’t a qualified translator, however she is a filmmaker. Idk how she started translating for Bong, but she has been translating for Bong all award season. Her position as a bilingual filmmaker really made her more qualified for translating stuff than an actual translator, and it shows.

[@eoo-j9n]

I think Bong Joon-Ho is the most open-minded person in this interview hall. All journalists asking about "foreign film" or "Asian film" or language barrier something relate with his region where he came from and he keeps remind them that doesn't matter if you want to make a good film... He is the true artist.

Even though Parasite is best movie, it is still foreign film with subtitles, 1917 has been took care of most the big glories. Best Director is done deal, should cemented!!? I saw many magazine Newspaper tv experts to give Parasite only one international and gave 1917 six plus include Best Picture, Best Director!!? That is harsh but can happen because this don’t happen in Hollywood!! I was about to accept any way Oscar presents!!? But 4 major awards out of 6 nominees?? It is a Winner!!

[@wepynatalano4562]

Sharon choi also the winner !!!

[@StikWitClassics]

I was presented with the argument that it's not good that Parasite won Best Picture because then that would be ignoring the work that American filmmakers have worked hard for this year. But the truth is, other foreign movies have won Best Picture. They may not have been foreign language but they've been foreign to the U.S. like The King's Speech or Slumdog Millionaire or The Artist. If 1917 won, that would have been a British film winning Best Picture and not an American one anyways. I personally think Parasite was the right choice for Best Picture. It was an original movie about current issues that are still happening today between the classes.

[@zthetajulietta8184]

people are just uncomfortable seeing people unlike them win, they think they 'hand out' awards to people to appease their audience not because they actually created great work that deserved it. my dad stuck his nose up at the "hair love" win. like it was a move that was made only to be politically correct and keep the black community less outraged. or....maybe it was the grandstanding short this year? geesh. I loved kitbull as well, but a story about a little girl frustrated with her 4c hair and daddy having to fill the shoes of mom and the importance of hair for female black women and woman battling illnesses that makes them lose that identifier is an important message. its hard because all the films were good but it's more of the moral question: Are dog fights and animal abuse more important than young black girls accepting their hair? answer: they are all important and it was a subjective and personal taste decision based on the voting of the academy. audiences get all opinionated when a film directed by an AMERICAN black person or predominately black casted film wins the best film or director...but they are American and people still act all racist.

[@moonlightstripess]

Whoever presented that argument fails to see how the oscars are run and who wins. The oscars has the history of 'bribery' and bias that it already has put a disadvantage for the american filmaker (or actors, actresses, animations, designs teams, etc.). Those who deserve the award don't get rewarded the trophy. This is arare moment where the best film was given appropriately. I believe Parasite was really deserving of this award because tje movie connected to many countries va capitalism; a topic (that I'm aware of) not really tackled by many american filmakers.
