The cast ofParasitereceived a lot of love at the Screen Actors Guild Awards on Sunday night.
Earlier this month, Bong became thefirst Korean director to ever win a Golden Globe,andParasitewas the first South Korean film to win the prestigious Palme d’Or at the 2019 Cannes Film Festival.
“Once you overcome the 1-inch-tall barrier of subtitles, you will be introduced to so many more amazing films,” Bong said from the stage at theGolden Globesto accept the award. “Just being nominated along with fellow amazing international filmmakers was a huge honor. I think we use only one language: the cinema.”

And whileParasitereceived Oscar nominations in six categories, including Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Foreign Language Film, no one from the cast was nominated.
“Compared to Japanese or Hong Kong film, the history of Korean cinema is relatively lesser known to American and European audiences,” Bongtold NPR in December. “I hope, due to the opportunities that have arisen fromParasite,people will realize that Korean cinema has also had a lot of masters.”
The 26th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards are airing live Sunday starting at 8 p.m. ET on TNT and TBS.
