Park Chan-wook's 'Decision to Leave' Selected as a Preliminary Candidate for the Academy Awards
Golden Globe Challenge on the 11th, the Oscar Precursor
Director Park Chan-wook's film "Decision to Leave" has been shortlisted in four categories, including Best Director, at the British Academy Film Awards.
The British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA), which organizes the British Academy Film Awards, announced the preliminary nominees for 24 categories of the 76th British Academy Film Awards on the 7th (Korean time). Among them, "Decision to Leave" was nominated in four categories: Best Director, Best International Feature Film, Best Editing, and Best Original Screenplay.
Sixteen films were nominated for Best Director, while ten films were selected for Best International Feature Film, Best Original Screenplay, and Best Editing. The final nominees will be announced on the 19th, and the awards ceremony will be held on February 19 at the Royal Festival Hall in London.
Director Park previously won the Best International Feature Film at the British Academy Film Awards in 2018 for his film "The Handmaiden," becoming the first Korean director to receive the award. He lifted the trophy before director Bong Joon-ho's "Parasite," drawing attention to whether he will win again this time.
The British Academy Film Awards are considered a precursor to the American Academy Awards (Oscars), which will be held on March 13, raising expectations for the outcome. "Decision to Leave" is also shortlisted for the Oscars. Major foreign media outlets, including The New York Times, are naming the film as a strong contender for Best Director and Best Actress.
