'Parasite' wins Best Picture at the 2020 Oscars

And there you have it: Parasite is the winner of the 2020 awards race.

The South Korean film took home Best Picture at the 92nd Academy Awards Sunday, becoming the first non-English-language film ever to win in the category. Jane Fonda presented the prize.

Parasite had been nominated in a total of six categories at this year's Oscars, winning four: Best International Feature, Best Director (for Bong Joon-ho), Best Original Screenplay (for Bong and Han Jin Won), and Best Picture.

It lost in Film Editing to Ford v Ferrari and in Production Design to Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. Parasite was not nominated in any of the acting categories.

The Best Picture Oscar was Parasite's crowning achievement in a season studded with statues. Earlier in the year, the film had also taken home Best Foreign Language Picture at the Golden Globe Awards, Best Film Not in the English Language at the BAFTA Awards, Best Cast at the SAG Awards, Best International Film at the Independent Spirit Awards, and Original Screenplay at the WGA Awards.
