The awards ceremony will run from 10 am to 2 pm, and the atmosphere is heightening as the awards draw closer.

The interest in film parasites is increasing.

First of all, the international feature film competitions between foreign language films are consistently predicted that parasites are the best winners.

The focus of attention is the award-winning division, which is a serious battle against American movies.

Bong Joon-ho's parasites were nominated in all three of the top three categories, including the Director's Award and Screenplay Award.

Influential media such as the Los Angeles Times and the Associated Press have named parasites as strong candidates for their best work.

To date, the Academy Award has been the best in foreign language films.

The world's film community is paying attention to the results as parasites may set new milestones in the history of the Academy in 92 years.
