On the 15th, the third Monday of March in Korean time, interest is being directed to whether good news from the United States will be delivered one after another from the group BTS and actor Yoon Yeo-jung.
At this time, whether BTS will be nominated for the 63rd Grammy Awards, the first Korean pop singer to be nominated, and Yoon Yeo-jung will also be the first Korean actor to be nominated for the Academy (Oscar) Acting Award.
First of all, whether or not to receive the BTS’s Grammy Awards in the’Best Pop Duo/Group Performance’ category will be decided at the premier ceremony (pre-award ceremony) that will take place prior to the awards ceremony this day. BTS competes with Taylor Swift and Lady Gaga with the hit song’Dynamite’. The premier ceremony will start at 4 am on the 15th in Korean time. In other words, the results are expected to come out prior to the Grammy Awards’ main awards ceremony, which will be held from 9 am on the 15th (5 pm on the 14th local time in Los Angeles, USA) in Korean time.
In the Grammy Awards, Soprano Jo Soo-mi in the classical category in 1993 and Hwang Byung-jun, a record engineer in the recording technology category in 2008, were previously awarded. However, BTS is the first case that a popular singer has been nominated.
BTS won the Billboard Music Awards for 4 consecutive years and the American Music Awards for 3 consecutive years, and this time aims to win the first Grammy Awards. In particular, as the Grammy Awards are compared to the Academy Awards of the popular music industry, the award itself is expected to be an important record in the history of BTS and K-pop. Of course, even if they cannot win the award, their nomination this time is expected to remain a record comparable to that of the award.
In the case of Yoon Yeo-jung, who appeared in the movie’Minari’, whether or not he will step on the academy stage at the 93rd Academy Awards nominations announcement at around 9:30 pm on the 15th (8:30 am local time on the 15th Eastern US time) on the 15th. Is determined.
Earlier, Minari won 90 awards at prestigious film festivals and awards ceremonies in the United States, of which 32, or one-third, are the Best Supporting Actress Awards received by Yoon Yeo-jung.
As a result of this trend, there is a high possibility that Yoon Yeo-jung will be nominated for the Best Supporting Actor in the Academy as well. Last year, director Bong Joon-ho’s film “Parasite” was nominated for six categories at the Academy last year and won four boobooms, including Best Works, Directors, Screenplays, and International Film Awards.
But this time, the atmosphere is a little different. According to the predictions of major US media such as Variety and Gold Derby, Yoon Yeo-jung is arguing for first or second place with Olivia Coleman in the movie “The Father” in the Best Supporting Actress category, and Steven Yeon and Han Ye-ri, starring Buttercup, are also nominated for Best Actor and Best Actress Awards 4-5. The name is rising above the top.
This time, if Minari is nominated for an acting award, it will be the first Korean actor. The Academy Awards Ceremony will be held on April 25, more than a month later.
