I’d prefer it around +450 or longer (it’s tracking in that direction as it was +300 a few weeks ago), but will probably throw down a small wager and keep an eye on the movement as we get closer to showtime. It was tough to argue with Olivia Colman (The Favourite) beating Close (The Wife) for Best Actress two years ago, and now Close is a longshot along with the woman who beat her - although Colman’s performance in the insanely underrated The Father is worth consideration.īakalova’s odds are within range to pull the trigger on a small longshot bet. This story corrects reference to character as son-in-law, not stepson.The Glenn Close nomination is yet another reminder that the Academy has somehow failed to honor the legend despite her being nominated now eight times with her bid for the utterly forgettable monstrosity that was Hillbilly Elegy. Her American detour put her career on hold for nearly a decade, until she returned to South Korea, her marriage ended and she resumed acting. Youn became an instant film star in South Korea with her 1971 debut “Fire Woman.” At the peak of her career, she married popular singer Cho Young-nam and moved with him to the United States, where he performed at Billy Graham’s church. She waved off the idea of making a film with Pitt: “It would never happen with my English and age,” said the 73-year-old. It’s very nice to understand each other and we should embrace each other,” she said.
#ACADEMY AWARD FOR BEST SUPPORTING ACTRESS TV#
The Screen Actors Guild and the British film and TV academy were among those honoring her performance in “Minari,” which earned Oscar nominations including best picture, director and lead actor for Steven Yuen (“The Walking Dead”).īackstage, Youn was asked about the bump in Asian films. screen appearance in “Minari,” captured a string of honors for the semi-autobiographical film based on the childhood of Korean American director Lee Isaac Chung. Soon-ja and her initially wary grandson form an unlikely but loving bond. Youn plays Soon-ja, a card-player with a knack for swearing, who’s moved from Korea to join her daughter and son-in-law in his seemingly quixotic quest to trade dispiriting work in California for farming in Arkansas. The first Korean woman to be nominated for an Oscar, Youn’s victory comes one year after academy voters snubbed the South Korean cast of best picture winner “Parasite.” Pitt gave her the envelope containing her name. “Nice to meet you,” she said, later taking his arm as she walked offstage. Youn teased presenter Brad Pitt, who announced her award and whose company was involved in the production of “Minari,” for not visiting the set in Oklahoma. She also thanked her two sons, “who make me go out and work.This is the result, because Mommy works so hard,” Youn said, holding her Oscar aloft. Youn credited a “little bit of luck” for her award, “and maybe American hospitality for the Korean actor.” The other nominees were Oliva Colman for “The Father,” Maria Bakalova for “Borat Subsequent Moviefilm” and Amanda Seyfried for “Mank.” How can I win over Glenn Close?” she said of the nominee for “Hillbilly Elegy,” who is 0-for-8 at the Oscars. She then acknowledged what she called her “wonderful ‘Minari’ family,” including director Lee Isaac Chung, and her formidable peers in the category. “You are all forgiven” for the frequent mangling of her name, she said, smiling.
