The 27th American Actors Guild Awards ceremony held non-face-to-face on the 4th of local time in the United States.
Among the Nominees for the Best Supporting Actress Award, the moderator calls the winner.
[The winner is Yeo-jung Yoon.]
The winner of the award is Yoon Yeo-jeong, the 74th Korean actor this year.
Yun couldn't hide her joy with tears.
[Yeojung Yoon/Actor: I don't know how to express this feeling. It has been recognized by Westerners.]
He expressed his feelings of the award that it was especially honored because it was chosen by fellow actors.
[Yeojung Yoon/Actor: I am particularly honored that my fellow actors have chosen me as a supporting actor.] In the
movie'Minari', Yoon took the role of a grandmother who came to the US to care for the children of a Korean immigrant daughter. It is the first time that has been awarded this award in the personal category.
The American Actors Guild Award is one of the four major film association awards in the United States, and it is also referred to as the'Oscar's Outpost', where the actors directly determine the winners.
This is because the proportion of actors among the Academy Award judges is high, and last year's film Parasite also received the'Ensemble Award' at the American Actors Guild Award for evaluating the acting breathing and harmony of the entire cast.
It is predicted that the green light has turned on even with the possibility of winning the Academy Award, which is approaching on the 25th with this award.
In addition to the Best Supporting Actress Award at the Academy Film Festival, the movie Minari has been nominated in six categories, including Best Picture and Director Awards.
