[국제]Yoon Yeo-jung, what is the reason for breaking the ‘3040+ white’ Oscar?

The rosy prospect of the US media continues about the possibility of receiving the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress Yoon Yeo-jung, who appeared in the movie Minari.

When the American Actors Guild Award for Best Supporting Actress was confirmed, the humble and witty recognition of the award was also a hot topic.

[윤여정 / 배우 : 지금 심정을 어떻게 표현해야 할지 모르겠어요. 서양인들에게 인정받았다는 것, 특히 동료 배우들이 저를 여우조연상으로 선택해 줘서 더 영광입니다. 모르겠습니다. 내가 맞게 말하고 있나요? 내 영어 실력 별로인가요? (완벽해요.) 너무 감사합니다. 미국배우조합에도 감사드려요.]

We analyzed 31 Academy Award winners from 1990 to last year.

The most common were those in their 30s and 40s, with 10 each, and 5 were each in their 20s and 50s.

There was only one teenager, and none over 60.

In particular, there were only 7 people of color.

Even though they were all black.

Where is the basis for the 74-year-old Asian actor Yoon Yeo-jung to break the award formula of’white in the 3040s’?

The Academy selects the winners by voting by members of the American Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.

Related workers, that is, actors, directors, cinematographers and sound directors, executives, etc. are given qualifications.

Every year, there are people who gain and lose the right to vote.

Shall we take a look at the names of Koreans who voted for this Academy Awards?

It has increased a lot last year due to the parasite effect.

Five actors who appeared in parasites, including Woo-sik Choi and Yeo-jung Jo, as well as 14 additional voters in the fields of editing, costume, production, and writers were given voting rights.

As you can see from these numbers, the percentage of’actors’ is the highest among the members who determine the Academy Award winners.

And most of the actors belong to the’American Actors Association’, which gave Yoon Yeo-jung the Best Supporting Actress Award.

Yoon Yeo-jung’s’Oscar Award’ is the first reason.

In fact, last year’s Parasite also won the casting award, the best award in the American Actors Guild, and then swept through four categories including the Best Art Award at the Academy.

Since 2010, there has only been one case in which the American Actors Guild Award and the Academy’s Best Supporting Actress Award winners have not matched.

The second reason why the award is expected is that, in the 30 years since 1990, only 7 out of 31 supporting actors were of color, but since 2010, 5 out of these 7 winners.

That is why the recent academy is relatively friendly to people of color.

If Yun Yeo-jeong wins the Best Supporting Actress Award, it is a feat of 64 years in Asia.

[강유정 / 영화평론가 : 한국어를 사용해서 한국 배우가 한국적 연기를 펼쳤음에도 불구하고 수상을 했다는 건 윤여정의 연기가 언어를 넘어서는 공감대를 확보했다고 의미를 부여할 수 있겠습니다.]

It’s worth applauding for the achievements so far, but it’s true that expectations are growing.

The ending can be confirmed at the Academy Awards, starting at 9am our time on the 26th.
