Like looking at the Golden Globe… ‘Buttercup’ nominated for three categories of the American Actors Guild Awards

The film’Minari’, which was only nominated for one Golden Globe (Best Foreign Language Film) nomination, was nominated in three categories including the Ensemble Award at the 27th American Actors Guild Awards (SAG). Hosted by the American Actors Association, this award is often referred to as the’Oscar Preview’, which overlaps with the Academy Award, which is Hollywood’s highest honor.

In this year’s SAG nomination announced on the 4th (local time), all of Tim Minari (Steven Yeon, Han Ye-ri, Yoon Yeo-jung, Alan Kim, Noel Kate and Jo) were named in the ensemble. The Ensemble Award is an award that evaluates acting breathing among actors, and last year, director Bong Joon-ho’s’Parasite’ set a record for the first foreign language film. In’Minari’, directed by Korean-American director Lee Isaac Jeong (Isak Jeong) based on his autobiographical experience, Korean-American Stephen Yeon and Korean actor Han Ye-ri play the role of an immigrant couple, and Yoon Yeo-jung plays the role of a grandmother from Korea to help the couple. I took it. The naughty youngest David, who shows her grandmother and Tikitaka, is played by Alan Kim, and Noel Kate Jo is the daughter of a deep-hearted daughter who knows how to comfort her mother. The domestic release is March 3rd.

‘Buttercup’ has won 59 awards in the United States from the Sundance Film Festival in January of last year until the 4th, of which two ensemble awards are the Middleburg Film Festival and the New Mexico Critics Association. Yun Yeo-jeong, who won 20 Best Supporting Actor Awards out of 59 trophies, was nominated without any surprise after being eliminated from the 78th Golden Globe nomination the day before.

The US media, which critically reported that’Buttercup’ was only nominated for the Golden Globe Best Foreign Language Film the day before, are positively responding to the SAG nomination. The New York Times (NYT) said, “Unlike the odd and ridiculous Golden Globe (results) determined by a few foreign journalists’ minority votes, the actors’ unions are more like the academy in size and membership. The winner also won an Oscar.” ‘Buttercup’ is also the top (three category) nominations along with Netflix movies’Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom’ and’Da 5 Bloods’.

This year’s SAG awards ceremony will be held on April 4. The 93rd Academy Award nominations are scheduled for March 15th and the awards ceremony on April 25th. In addition to SAG, results such as the Directors’ Association Award (DGA), the Producer Association Award (PGA), and the Writers Guild Award (WAG), which are said to be the weather vane of the Academy Awards, are expected to continue.

Meanwhile,’Buttercup’ was named in eight categories in the’British Academy’ BAFTA’s longlists announced on the 4th. At the 74th BAFTA hosted by the British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA),’Minari’ is a Foreign Language Film Award, Director Award, Screenwriter Award, Best Actor Award, Actress Award (Yoo Jung), Best Supporting Actor Award (Alan Kim), Casting Award, and Music Award. It was included as a preliminary candidate. The final BAFTA candidate will be announced on March 9 and the awards ceremony will be held on April 11. Last year,’Parasite’ was nominated for a total of four categories, including the Best Picture, and won two categories including the Foreign Language Film Award and the Screenplay Award.
