“I am more thrilled that my fellow actors have chosen me to be the Best Supporting Actor Award winner.”

Actor Yoon Yeo-jeong, who appeared in the movie’Buttercup’ (Photo) On the 4th (local time) received the American Actors Guild Award (SAG) for Best Supporting Actress award and wept in tears.

Yoon Yeo-jung was selected as a recipient of the Best Supporting Actress Award in the movie category at the 27th American Actors Guild Awards ceremony held that day.

The award, hosted by the American Actors Association, is known to have a high similarity to the American Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS), which hosts the Academy Awards Ceremony. In fact, it is also called’Oscar Preview’ because the winners often win the Academy Awards. Accordingly, the possibility of Yun Yeo-jeong’s award at the Academy Awards ceremony to be announced on the 25th of this month has also increased.

At last year’s American Actors Guild Awards, the entire cast of director Bong Joon-ho’s film “Parasite” received the first Asian film ensemble award. Unlike the ensemble award, which evaluates acting breathing and harmony among actors, he is the first time a Korean actor has won an award alone.

Right after the award, Yoon Yeo-jung said, “I don’t know how to tell you how I feel. I didn’t know that it would become known overseas like this. I am very honored, and I am especially thrilled that my fellow actors have chosen to be the Best Supporting Actor Award winners.” At the same time, I was delighted with tears saying, “I am happy and happy.”

Also, listening to the names of Olivia Coleman (The Father), Maria Bakalova (Borat 2), Glenn Klos (Hillville’s song) and Helena Zengel (News of the World) who competed in this category, “Thank you so much to everyone.” Said.

Based on the autobiographical experience of Korean-American director Isak Jeong (Lee Isak Jeong), the movie’Minari’ depicts the story of a Korean family settling in Arkansas, USA in the 1980s. Yoon Yeo-jeong played the role of’Sunja’, a grandmother who came to the United States to care for the children of his immigrant daughter and couple. Sunja took on the role of a grandmother who was both compassionate and humorous.

Meanwhile, Korean-American actor Stephen Yeon, who played the role of father’Jacob’ in’Minari’, was nominated for Best Actor in the movie category, and all cast members of’Minari’ were nominated for the Ensemble Award in the movie category, but the award was missed.

This year’s American Actors Guild Award for Best Actor in the Movie Category was received by Chadwick Bozeman (Marinei, she is the Blues), who died last year, and Viola Davis (Mariney, she is the Blues), who received the Best Actress Award. The ensemble award (cast award) went back to’Trial of the Chicago 7′.
