So, last night was the Golden Globes. In case you're surprised you hadn't heard this or seen any ads for it, you might not be aware that the Globes (which, let's face it, always was the weirdest of the major award shows) was essentially canceled after last year when it was revealed they had exactly zero non-white voting members. The show was not broadcast this year, or even livestreamed, and nobody of note showed up to claim awards.
But it did take place regardless, and a Korean actor won an award, a first. The actor was O-Yeong Su, who won the Best Supporting Actor award for Squid Game.
So congrats, I guess?

"Drive My Car," which won Best Non-English Film last night, is from Japan but apparantly a chunk of the film is in Korean. Two Korean actors -- one of whom is deaf and delivers her lines in Korean sign language -- have received rave notices in reviews.

"Drive My Car," which won Best Non-English Film last night, is from Japan but apparantly a chunk of the film is in Korean. Two Korean actors -- one of whom is deaf and delivers her lines in Korean sign language -- have received rave notices in reviews. This film ended up with Oscar nominations for both Best Picture and Best International Film. It's an international ensemble cast and the Korean actors figure prominently, although they don't make an appearance until about an hour into the film. It's playing now on HBO Max and I recommend it. It's 3 hours long and some might think it's slow moving, but if you can make it through the first hour I think you'll be hooked. One correction to my above post: The Korean actress who communicates only in sign language is not deaf...both in the movie and in real life. "Parasite" director Bong Joon Ho is a fan: Bong Joon Ho and Ryusuke Hamaguchi on Oscar Surprise ‘Drive My Car’www.nytimes.com/2022/03/02/movies/bong-joon-ho-ryusuke-hamaguchi-drive-my-car.html Ryusuke Hamaguchi, left, and his film “Drive My Car” are up for the same awards that Bong Joon Ho and “Parasite” won.Credit...Eric Gaillard/Reuters (Hamaguchi); Philip Cheung for The New York Times
In January 2020, just weeks before his film “Parasite” would make Oscar history, the director Bong Joon Ho was in Tokyo doing a magazine interview. By that point in what had become a very long press tour, Bong had dutifully sat for dozens of profiles, but at least this one offered a little bit of intrigue: Bong’s interviewer was Ryusuke Hamaguchi, a rising director in his own right.
