'Parasite' took Hollywood's top prize on Sunday night, along with awards for best director, best international film and best screenplay.
In a year dominated by period epics -- 1917, Once Upon a Time ... In Hollywood, The Irishman - the film academy instead went overseas, to South Korea, to reward a contemporary and unsettling portrait of social inequality in 'Parasite'.
Multiple standing ovations greeted Bong's several wins, Bong saluted his fellow nominees, particularly Martin Scorsese, and concluded: "Now I'm ready to drink until tomorrow."
