The night belonged to Parasite and its entire team! Who would have thought a South Korean movie dominate the Hollywood Oscars? With as many as four wins in major categories, Parasite just became the first international movie to win the Best Picture Award in the history of Oscars. It's really a big deal to beat the likes of Martin Scorsese, Quentin Tarantino and Sam Mendes in the Best Director category and we wonder if Bong Joon Ho plans on continuing to drink for the next few weeks to come.

After bagging the award for Best Screenplay, later for Best Foreign Language Film and Best Director, of course, Parasite was announced as the Best Picture of 2019. It's an honour for South Korea and a proud moment for all the citizens of the country. Twitter is currently enjoying their euphoric win and some of the reactions are truly epic. Check them out.

A Big Night For the Team Indeed
Some of the #Parasite team crew didn't even go up on stage and stayed celebrating crying at their seats. This is so emotional, such humility. There were so many ppl involved creating this masterpiece & they all deserve recognition, much respect! #Oscars

Twitter reactions will continue to pour in for some more time for the team rightfully deserves this attention. Hopefully, Parasite's big win encourage Indian filmmakers to break the stereotypes and probably, a day will come when the Indian film industry will dominate the Oscars. Until then, let's keep enjoying for Parasite.
