In the entire history of the Academy Awards, no film from the Asian continent has ever won a screenplay Oscar until now.
, the genre-shredding class satire “Parasite” made history Sunday night by becoming the first Korean — and the first Asian — film ever to claim the original screenplay Oscar, with director Bong Joon Ho and co-writer Han Jin Won beating a field that included Quentin Tarantino , Noah Baumbach , Sam Mendes and Krysty Wilson-Cairns and Rian Johnson .
Prior to this year’s Oscars, only five foreign-language films had won the original screenplay prize since the award was first given out in 1940 — the most recent being Pedro Almodóvar’s 2002 drama “Talk to Her.” But all of those winners came from European countries: namely, Switzerland, Italy, France and Spain
Indeed, of the more than 60 foreign-language films to earn an original screenplay nod in the past 80 years, including last year’s “Roma,” prior to “Parasite” only three had come from the Asian continent: the 1959 Japanese-French co-production “Hiroshima Mon Amour,” the 1959 Soviet film “Ballad of a Soldier” and the 2011 Iranian drama “A Separation.”
The only Asian nominee in the adapted screenplay category remains the 2000 film “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.”
