Although the movie industry was hit by Corona 19 directly, laughter overflowed at the filmmaker’s festival.
On the afternoon of the 9th, the best films and filmmakers of 2020 were covered at the 41st Blue Dragon Film Awards, which was broadcast live through SBS.
The Best Picture was the’Busans of Namsan’ who dramatized the 10.26 incident. After’The Insiders’ (2015), CEO Won-kook Kim and Director Woo Min-ho of the production company Hive Media Corp., who once won the award for work, said, “I expected a director award a little, but I couldn’t prepare the award at all. Following’The Insiders’, I’m with Senior Lee Byung-hun again. I was happy with the Blue Dragon Award.” He then expressed his gratitude to the cast actors and staff, saying, “I support all actors and officials who are confronting the corona situation.”
The Male and Female Leading Actor Awards were awarded to Yoo Ah-in of’No Sound’ and La Miran of’Honest Candidate’. Since the competition was fiercer than in any year, the joy of the award would have been greater.
Yoo Ah-in was greatly applauded for her tribute to her seniors who had a lot of influence on her and for her long awards expressing her love for low-budget movies. At the end of the testimony, he predicted various work activities with the words “I am ready to be used by anyone anywhere. Take it to your heart’s content.”
Rami-ran, who started acting as a single role and showed growth and change over 20 years, enjoyed the joy of winning the first nomination for Best Actress.
Ramiran, who expressed his surprise at the result by saying “an unbelievable thing has happened,” said, “Because we passed a difficult time last year, I think you might have seen the meaning of even a little laughter in it. Blue Dragon won a comedy movie award. I am thrilled,” he laughed.
The director’s award was won by director Lee, Lee, who directed’To Yoon Hee’. ‘To Yoon Hee’, which was released in 2019, was a movie that was not greatly appreciated despite its excellent workmanship. A year has passed since its opening, but at this awards ceremony, he won two awards for the director and screenwriters, and received a spotlight worthy of its value.
The Male and Female Supporting Actor Awards were won by Park Jung-min of’But Save Me from Evil’ and Lee Som of’Samjin Group English TOEIC Class. The male and female rookie awards were awarded by Yoo Tae-oh of’Vertigo’ and Kang Mal-geum of’Chansil has a lot of corridors’.
Park Jung-min went on the stage and made fans cry with an award in memory of the comedian Park Ji-seon who passed away last year.
In 2020, the Korean film industry ended the era of 100 million viewers in 8 years due to the aftermath of Corona 19. The movie’Baekdusan’, which was released in December 2019, mobilized 8.25 million viewers nationwide, and was honored with the Most Audience Award. This figure was achieved at a time when it was not affected by Corona 19.
‘Samjin Group English TOEIC Class’ received a total of three trophies, including the Best Supporting Actress (Isom), the Music Award (Dal Blue), and the Art Award (Bae Jeong-yoon), and was rewarded for the consolation delivered to the audience.
The Blue Dragon Film Awards ceremony, which was held after delaying the schedule due to Corona 19, was a time for filmmakers to forget the shadows of the virus generously in honor of their hard work.
