"Parasite" Dominated the 2019 Oscars

The results are in for the Academy Awards of 2019, better known as the Oscars. The major awards fell rather evenly among a variety of titles in this sought-after movie awards gala, with one glaring exception. The independently distributed black comedy Parasite from South Korea walked off with four of the most coveted golden statuettes. Here's a quick look at the biggest winners.

Co-written and directed by Snowpiercer and Okja helmer Bong Joon-Ho, this black comedy took home the Oscars for best original screenplay, best directing, best international film, and best picture. The film was also produced by a team led by Joon-Ho and distributed by a patchwork of independent distribution companies. In North America, the theatrical release was managed by I, Tonya distributor Neon. Comcast (NASDAQ: CMCSA) subsidiary Universal Pictures Home Entertainment has released Parasite on DVD and Blu-ray disks, even though some theaters still carry the title.
