“Oppenheimer” took home an impressive seven Academy Awards at Sunday’s Oscars, including the night’s top prize of Best Picture. The Universal movie also won Best Director for Christopher Nolan and Best Actor for Cillian Murphy amongst a number of other awards. That is one below the total of eight wins we predicted for the film as “The Zone of Interest” beat the movie to win Best Sound. However, seven is still a huge tally and places “Oppenheimer” amongst the Best Picture winners to take home the highest amount of Oscars this century. Scroll down below for a complete list of every Best Picture winner this century ranked by total Oscar wins.

There was a time when any great international actor tended to be reduced to their perceived Hollywood counterpart whenever they were discussed in the U.S. press. Under this outmoded prerogative, Korean screen icon Song Kang-ho easily could be described as his country’s simultaneous answer to both Marlon Brando and Tom Hanks, such is his seemingly contradictory blend of sardonic physicality, fearsome technique, lyrical humanism and overwhelming likability. Today, thankfully, it is sufficient to simply describe Song Kang-ho as Song Kang-ho: “One of the protean greats of world cinema — a master, end of,” as Tilda Swinton, a co-star with Song in Bong Joon Ho’s Snowpiercer (2013), once summed him up in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter.

“Everything Everywhere All at Once” swept the 2023 Oscars by winning seven Academy Awards. In that seven were six above-the-line awards, which is an Oscars record. Seven Oscars is also the most amount any film has won in a single year since “Gravity” also won seven in 2014. But that movie didn’t win Best Picture (“12 Years a Slave” did), so what about Best Picture winners only? Well, here’s every single Best Picture winner this century ranked by the number of Oscars it won.

Directed by Dae-seung Kim, The Concubine is a South Korean period drama that shows us how rigid the Royal Court was in that country, or how it’s imagined, of course. The Court was as strict, brutal, and corrupt as any other in history, give or take a few murders. The film stars Yeo-Jeong Cho as Hwa-Yeon (she’s listed as Yeo-Jeong Jo here), a woman forced into various circumstances by the men around her. (When are women not?) Specifically, the story takes place during the Joseon Dynasty, a Korean kingdom that lasted for approximately five centuries. We first meet Hwa-Yeon, the daughter of a noble family, with Kwon Yoo...

Best picture winner at the Oscars, Parasite is yet another force to prove that Bong Joon Ho is one of the best directors of his generation, if not, of any generation. It’s hard to believe just how perfect the film is. In short, there is not a single fault, the editing, cinematography, score, acting, production design and every other aspect is masterfully worked together by a master director. A now Oscar winning best Director. It’s hard to sum up just how masterful this film is, but I’ll give it a go.

The now best picture winner, Parasite is yet another force to prove that Bong Joon Ho is one of the best directors of his generation, if not, of any generation.

During a year in which the world finds itself increasingly in the throes of totalitarianism and corruption, when institutions, traditions and good old common sense seems to be crumbling before our very eyes, when the world itself appears to be catching fire, a spirit of thanksgiving may be one that is hard to come by. But there are reasons to give thanks even in light of those realities, ones even directly to those realities, and I encourage you to seek out those reasons, be as grateful as is warranted, and find ways to express that gratitude. In other words, don’t let the bastards get you down.
In the world of the movies, there was the usual degree of lousy movies, some franchise-related, of course, but some that were pretty shitty of their own accord. And at the same time, there were lots of reasons to justify gratitude. Here are...

The Trey Edward Shults family drama Waves surfed into New York at the Angelika and AMC Lincoln Square, as well as the Arclight Hollywood and Landmark Los Angeles. With its strong festival run, emotionally wrought performances (specifically from the mesmerizing Kelvin Harrison Jr.), and its 91% Rotten Tomatoes rating, the stunning A24 pic made a splash in its debut, earning an estimated weekend gross of $144,562. With an expansion next week, A24 is expecting word-of-mouth will hopefully pad these numbers as the film enters the awards season race.

With no plan, nothing goes wrong.
Bong Joon Ho’s Parasite is an extravagant tale of swashbuckling swindling and paralyzing division. Precisely stirred and boiled, the spectacle and captivation behind its story is that we, as spectators, never get a whiff of what’s cooking in the other room. What starts off as biting satire – probing at class politics with the gleeful antics of a poor family leeching themselves onto the fruit of a rich one – furtively evolves into a blend of monstrosities and hellfire, until finally hurtling us into an ocean of organic bloodshed. The journey is so frantically pleasant that any attempt to synthesize it without getting into the nitty-gritty of its sharp twists and turns feels dishonorable. But believe me, this is one of the best movies of the year.

The first official trailer for Bong Joon-ho’s Cannes sensation and Palme d’Or winner “Parasite” has arrived.
The trailer opens on the black comedy’s central family who live in poverty in a basement apartment, with the father (Kang-ho Song) flicking a bug from his family’s table. He says to leave the windows open as a fumigator passes by on street so they can get “free extermination.”
Things start to look up for the family, however, when the college-age son of the family, Ki-woo (Woo-sik Choi), is given the opportunity to take over his friend’s job as an English tutor for a wealthy family’s young daughter. He enlists his sister (So-dam Park) to help him forge documents to deceive the family into believing he’s qualified to teach.
“It’s a very opportune gift,” Ki-woo’s father says. “Rich people are really gullible.”
