the Film’s Chances:
I purposely saved Parasite for last out of these Best Picture nominee profiles, since the film is my personal favourite of the bunch and the one that I’m rooting for to win the big prize. However, Bong Joon Ho’s film has a lot of factors going against it, whether it be the Academy’s perceived prejudice against foreign-language films or the fact that Parasite is not an easy film to classify, featuring elements of comedy, drama, and suspense. In a perfect world, I would say that Parasite most definitely would walk away with Best Picture. However, right now I can only hope.
