Today (the 9th, Korean time the 10th), which will be remembered as a historic day for the Oscars, heavy rain is falling at the Dolby Theatre in LA.

At 5 PM on the 9th (10 AM on the 10th Korean time), the 92nd Academy Awards (Oscars) ceremony will be held at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, California, USA.

Before the main event, starting from 3:30 PM on the 9th (8:30 AM Korean time), director Bong Joon-ho and actors Song Kang-ho, Lee Sun-kyun, Cho Yeo-jeong, Lee Jung-eun, Jang Hye-jin, Park Myung-hoon, Choi Woo-shik, Park So-dam, along with Kwak Shin-ae, CEO of Barunson E&A, writer Han Jin-won, art director Lee Ha-joon, and editing director Yang Jin-mo, will attend and walk the red carpet.

When anyone thinks of LA, they usually imagine clear skies and blazing sunshine, but on this day, rain reminiscent of Korea’s monsoon season is pouring down locally. Additionally, the temperature is somewhat colder compared to last year.

However, there appears to be no problem for the 'Parasite' red carpet. The Oscars have installed a glass ceiling over the red carpet path to prepare for any possible heavy rain.

This thorough preparation by the Oscars was quite impressive. From the day before, repeated rehearsals were held both inside the Dolby Theatre and on the outdoor red carpet show, with repeated checks of video, equipment, and lighting to prepare for any possible accidents. Also, even without actors, the staff seriously practiced the flow and repeated the lines multiple times, showing meticulous preparation for the ceremony.

Currently, the Oscars have completely sealed off one block around the Dolby Theatre. Police are deployed nearby to control traffic and restrict public access, with tight security in place. Armed officers are on alert, ensuring safety. They even ordered citizens watching the red carpet in front of the barricaded fences to step back, thoroughly securing the area in preparation for any unforeseen situations.

Whether the rain falling over the Oscars sky will become a blessing remains to be seen. The Korean film industry’s attention is focused on the Hollywood Dolby Theatre.
