Quotes 

• Himself - Winner : Thank you, a great honor. The category has a new name now, from Best Foreign Language to Best International Feature Film. I'm so happy to be its first recipient under the new name. I applaud and support the new direction that this change symbolizes. All our loving crew members and cast members are here with us today. Please send a round of applause to the actors and crew members of Parasite. And our great cinematographer Hong Kyung Pyo, and production designer Lee Ha Jun, and editor Yang Jinmo. I congratulate all the great artists here tonight. I also thank everyone at Barunson, CJ, and Neon who allowed me to actualize my vision. Thank you, and yeah, I'm ready to drink tonight. Until next morning. Thank you.

• Himself - Winner : Thank you. After winning Best International Feature I thought I was done for the day and was ready to relax. Thank you so much. When I was young and studying cinema there was a saying that I carved deep into my heart, which is, The most personal is the most creative.That quote was from our great Martin Scorsese. When I was in school I studied Martin Scorsese's films. Just to be nominated was a huge honor. I never thought I would win. When people in the U.S. were not familiar with my film, Quentin always put my films on his list. He is here, thank you so much. Quentin, I love you. And Todd and Sam, great directors that I admire. If the Academy allows, I would like to get a Texas chainsaw, split the Oscar trophy into five and share it with all of you. Thank you. I will drink until next morning. Thank you.

• Himself - Winner : Thank you, great honor. Writing a script is always such a lonely process. We never write to represent our countries. But this is very first Oscar to South Korea. Thank you. I thank my wife for always being an inspiration to me. I thank all the actors who are here with me today for bringing this film to life. Thank you.

  Himself - Winner : Thank you director Bong and thank you my mom and thank dad. As there's Hollywood in the U.S., in Korea we have Chungmuro. I'd like to share this honor with all the storytellers and filmmakers at Chungmuro. Thank you, Academy.

• Himself - Winner : I'm speechless. We never imagined this to ever happen. We are so happy. I feel like a very opportune moment in history is happening right now. I express my deepest gratitude and respect for all the members of the Academy for making this decision. Thank you.

  Herself - Winner : Hi everybody. I really like to thank director Bong. Thank you for being you. And I like everything about him: his smile, his crazy hair, the way he talks, the way he walks, and especially the way he directs. And what I really like about him is his sense of humor. And the fact is he can be really making fun of himself and he never takes himself seriously. Thank you, thank you very much. And I'd like to thank everybody who's been supporting Parasite, and who's been working with "Parasite," and who's been loving "Parasite." And I'd like to thank my brother who's been always supporting our building our dreams, even when it looked impossible dream. Thank you, Jay. I want to thank my brother Jay. And especially, I really, really, really want to thank our Korean film audience, our moviegoers, who's been really supporting all our movies and never hesitated to give us straight forward opinion on what they feel like their movies. And that made us really never be able to be complacent and keep pushing the directors, the creators, keep pushing the envelopes. And without you, our Korean film audience, we are not here. Thank you very much. Thank you.
