Yoon Yeo-jung was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor, right?

[기자]

That’s right. Yun Yeo-jeong was the first Korean to be nominated for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor.

Yun Yeo-jeong has emerged as a strong supporter award nomination in various prediction sites and media, but was eventually nominated.

Olivia Coleman and Amanda Seyfried compete for the Best Supporting Actress.

‘Minari’ is a movie about the settlement of Korean families who immigrated to the United States in search of hope in the 80s.

Yoon Yeo-jeong took on the role of’Sunja’, a grandmother from Korea.

He was praised for drawing the rough and crude but warm and wise Korean grandmother.

‘Buttercup’ won awards in 91 categories at leading film festivals and awards ceremonies in the United States, of which Yeo-jung Yoon received 33 Best Supporting Actress Awards, a third of them.

In addition, at major awards ceremonies and media that can judge the academy, Yeo-jung Yoon was nominated for the Best Supporting Actress Award, raising expectations for the award.

The British Academy and Hollywood Awards Prediction Site Gold Derby have already been nominated for Best Supporting Actress, and the New York Times and Variety are also highly likely to win Yoon Yeo-jung.

In particular, the variety was selected as the number one supporting actor in the prediction.

When Yun Yeo-jeong receives the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress, she will be awarded the second Asian actor after Japanese actress Mayoshi Umeki in the 1957 movie Sayonara.

Steve Yeon was the first Asian American to be awarded for Best Actor, right?

[기자]

Yes, for the first time in Oscar history, an Asian-American actor was awarded the Best Actor.

Steve Yeon played the role of a father struggling to grow a vegetable farm in the United States, an unfamiliar land in’Buttercup’.

Even though he cannot speak Korean, it is being evaluated for his deep inner acting.

He was nominated for Best Actor at Gold Derby, a site specializing in predictions at the Hollywood awards ceremony.

Steve Yeon raised awareness with the’The Walking Dead’ TV series, and expanded his acting range with’Burning’, which entered the competition at the Cannes Film Festival, and the Netflix movie’Okja’.

[앵커]

‘Buttercup’ was nominated for a whopping 6 categories, including the Best Works, right?

[기자]

Yes, Minari was nominated in six categories, including the Best Works, Best Director, and Best Supporting Actor Award.

Overall, I had a lot of expectations, but I was surprised to be nominated for six categories.

Last year, director Bong Joon-ho’s Parasite was nominated in six categories, winning Best Works, Director’s, Screenplay, and International Feature Film Awards in four categories, but so far, similar achievements have been achieved.

‘Parasite’ is a commercial film and’Buttercup’ is an independent film, which is even more surprising.

In the last Golden Globe Awards, because English ambassadors were less than 50%, they were excluded from other awards, such as work awards.

Above all,’Buttercup’ has been nominated for the best award announced by the American director, producer, and actors’ union with the academy voting rights, increasing the likelihood of winning.

The American Producers Guild Award nominated’Minari’ for Best Works, Director’s Guild Award for Director, Actor Guild Award for Ensemble Award, Best Supporting Actress Yoon Yeo-jung, and Best Actor Steve Yeon.

The awards ceremony will be held on the 24th of this month and the 4th and 10th of the following month, respectively, local time in the United States.

The Academy Awards ceremony will be held on the 25th of the following month local time in the United States.

It is noteworthy whether’Minari’ can set another record in Korean film history, such as receiving an Academy Award for the first time as a Korean actor.
