Bong Joon-ho accepts the award for "Best Director" for "Parasite."/ Yonhap



BONG JOON-HO: After winning "Best International Feature," I thought I was done for the day and was ready to relax. Thank you so much. When I was young and studying cinema, there was a saying that I carved deep into my heart which is "the most personal is the most creative." That quote was from our great Martin Scorsese. When I was in school, I studied Martin Scorsese's films. Just to be nominated with was a huge honor, I would never thought I would win. When people in the U.S were not familiar with my film, Quentin always put my films on his list. He's here, thank you so much. Quentin I love you. Todd and Sam, great directors I admire. If the Academy allow I would like to get a Texas chain saw and split the Oscar trophy into 5 and share it with all of you. Thank you. I will drink until next morning.
