The South Korean film Parasite earned the top prize at Sunday's Academy Awards in Hollywood, making Oscar history by becoming the first ever foreign-language film to win Best Picture. The film also took home Oscars for Best Director, Best Original Screenplay, and Best International Feature Film.

`Parasite` premiered at Cannes in May, unanimously winning the fetival's prestigious Palme d'Or prize, the first in a series of firsts for its filmmaker and for his native South Korea. It resurfaced in September at the Telluride and Toronto film festivals, key stops on the awards circuit, before opening in theaters in mid-October, selling out all of its shows and breaking box office records.
