Youn Yuh-Jung has won the Best Supporting Actress award at the 2021 Oscars for her performance in Minari. She beat Maria Bakalova (澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Borat Subsequent Moviefilm), Glenn Close (澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Hillbilly Elegy), Olivia Colman (The Father), and Amanda Seyfried (澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Mank).

Minari follows a family of South Korean immigrants who try to make it in the rural United States during the '80s and Youn plays Soon-ja, the mother-in-law of Steven Yeun's character Jacob. The movie was up for five other Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Director for Lee Isaac Chung. However, Minari did not win any other categories.&♐nbsp;

"To ♔the Minari family," she said. "We became a family and most of all, Lee Isaac Chung, without him I couldn't be here. He was our captain and my director so thanks to you."

"How can I win over Glenn Cl𒐪ose?" she continued. "We are all the winners... I have just a little bit of luck, I am luckier than you! And also maybe this is American hospitality for the Korean actor? I'm not sure. And thank you to my two boys for making me go out and work."

Youn was favorite to win the category, having won the BAFTA for Best Supporting Actress earlier in the month. Meanwhile, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Best Supporting Acto🌠r went to Daniel Kaluuya for his performance in Judas and the Black Messiah. More surprising were the two main acting categories, which saw 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Anthony Hopkins win Best Actor and 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Frances McDormand take home Best Actres✅s
