This year's Academy Awards Ceremony has been moved to the ticket office and waiting room of Union Station, the center of Los Angeles railroad transportation, taking into account the corona situation.
A large Oscar trophy stood next to the waiting room.
[Stacey Sheer/Academy Awards Director: Because of Corona, this event will be a more intimate event. Only candidates, invited guests, and awardees will go to the event venue.] At
Dolby Theater, where the awards ceremony was held last year, only celebration performances were held, and from yesterday (25th) it was crowded with tourists.
The New York Times and other foreign media all at once predicted that Yoon Yeo-jung would win the Best Supporting Actress Award.
The Hollywood awards ceremony prediction site Gold Derby and the American entertainment media variety also predicted Yun's awards highly.
A promotional video featuring Yoon was also posted on the YouTube channel of the Academy Awards.
[Yoon Yeo-jung (Academy Awards Promotional Video): Let’s see who won, I’m. Is my opinion right or wrong?] If
Yun wins, she will be the first Korean actor to win the 102 Academy Award for Korean Film History.
It is also the second Asian actor after Miyoshi Umeki in Sayonara's 1957 movie.
[Yoon Yeo-jung / The role of the grandmother of the movie'Minari' (last February, video press conference): It is surprising to say that I have received several awards, and I did not imagine and make this. So I'm just astonished.] The
movie Minari is nominated in six categories, including Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Actor.
