BONG JOON-HO: Great honor. The category has a new name now from "Best Foreign Language" to "Best International Feature Film," I'm so happy to be its first recipient under the new name. I applaud and support the new direction that this change symbolizes. Song Kang-ho, Lee Sun-kyun, Choi Woo-shik, Jang Hye-jin, Park Myung-hoon, Park So-dam and Lee Jung-eun, all our loving crew members and cast members are here with us today. Please hand a round of applause to the actors and crew members of "Parasite." And our great cinematographer Hong Kyung-pyo and production designer Lee Ha-jun and editor Yang Jin-mo. I congratulate all the great artists here tonight. I also thank everyone at Barunson, CJ and Neon who allowed me to actualize my vision. Thank you. I'm ready to drink tonight until next morning.
