'Minari' Wins Two Critics' Choice Awards
Foreign Language Film Award and Best Child Actor Award... Youn Yuh-jung and Steven Yeun Miss Acting Awards
The film 'Minari' won two awards at the Critics Choice Awards.
The Broadcast Film Critics Association (BFCA) awarded 'Minari' the Best Foreign Language Film and Best Young Actor awards at the 26th Critics Choice Awards held on the 7th (local time) in Los Angeles, California, USA.
'Minari' was rated higher than Denmark's 'Another Round', Guatemala/France's 'The Weeping Woman', Romania/Luxembourg's 'Collective', Italy's 'Life Ahead', and France/Luxembourg/Belgium's 'Two of Us' in the Best Foreign Language Film category. It won the Best Foreign Language Film award once again following the Golden Globe Awards on the 1st.
Alan Kim, who played David, the youngest son of a Korean immigrant family, received the Best Young Actor award. When his name was called, he shed tears of gratitude, seemingly surprised. Youn Yuh-jung, who played the grandmother Soon-ja who moves to America, missed out on the Best Supporting Actress award. Steven Yeun was also nominated for Best Actor but did not win. Previously, 'Minari' was nominated in ten categories including Best Picture, Director, and Screenplay.
