Academy nominations announced in the afternoon following Grammy Awards in the morning of the 15th
Group BTS and actor Yoon Yeo-jeong challenge the first Korean pop singer and actor to record in the United States on the same day.
This is because the announcement of the nominations for the Grammy Awards, the most prestigious music awards ceremony in the United States, and the Academy Awards, at the film awards ceremony, were held at the same time on the 15th.
The local time in the United States differs between the afternoon of the 14th and the morning of the 15th, but in Korean time, it is decided whether the first Korean pop singer will be awarded the Grammy Award and the first Korean actor to be nominated for the Academy Acting Award.
This awards ceremony at the 63rd Grammy Awards, where BTS was the first Korean pop singer to be nominated, will be held in Los Angeles, including the Los Angeles Convention Center, starting at 9 a.m. on the 15th Korea time (5 p.m. on the 14th, LA local time).
However, the winners of the’Best Pop Duo/Group Performance’ category, nominated for their nomination, will be announced at the’Premiere Ceremony’ (Pre-Award Ceremony), which will be held from 4 a.m. Korean time prior to the awards ceremony.
‘Best Pop Duo/Group Performance’ is a section where the collaborations of top singers and pop groups have collided. BTS’ mega hit song’Dynamite’ will compete with songs such as Taylor Swift and Lady Gaga this year and trophies.
Previously, in the classical category, Soprano Jo Soo-mi and record engineer Hwang Byung-jun had a history of winning Grammy, but BTS is the first Korean pop singer to be nominated.
K-pop has rapidly expanded its stake in the global popular music market, but it was still considered a marginal part in the Anglo-American-centered pop music world.
If Grammy, who has been criticized for being white-centric, wins a trophy for dynamite, it could be a sign of embracing the flow of change and diversity.
BTS J-Hope said in an interview with USA Today, “I played music while watching the Grammy Awards, and since I grew up, the reputation remains so deep in my heart.”
At 9:30 pm (8:30 am on the 15th EST), the candidates for the 93rd Academy Awards will be announced.
The American independent film’Minari’, written and directed by Korean-American director Lee Isaac Jeong (Isak Jeong) based on his autobiographical experience, is expected to be nominated for major categories such as Best Works, Director Awards, and Screenplay Awards.
The film, which tells the story of a Korean family who moved to a farm in Arkansas in the US in the 1980s, has won 90 trophies at film festivals and awards ceremonies in the United States.
In the academy awards predictions of major US media such as Variety and Gold Derby,’Minari’ is mentioned in the top 3 nominations for major categories such as Best Works, Director Awards, and Screenplay Awards.
Last year, director Bong Joon-ho’s’Parasite’ was nominated for six categories, winning four categories, including Best Picture, Director, Screenplay, and International Film Awards, rewriting the history of the Korean and international film industry, but’Buttercup’ is a’parasite’. The possibility of a candidate for an acting award for a poor Korean actor is also predicting.
In particular, Yoon Yeo-jeong, who played Sun-ja who passed away from Korea to help her daughter’s family who moved to Arkansas, competed for first or second place with Olivia Coleman of’The Father’ in the Best Supporting Actress category, and expects to be the first Korean actor to be nominated for the Academy Acting Award as well as winning It is also raising.
