Oscars 2021: Yuh-Jung Youn wins Best Supporting Actress, first-ever Korean actor to win Oscar| ABC7
Yuh-Jung Youn claimed the Oscar for best supporting actress Sunday night for her performance in "Minari" as a grandmother who moves from South Korea to live with her daughter's farming family in Arkansas.
She claimed the Oscar for best supporting actress Sunday night for her performance in "Minari" as a grandmother who moves from South Korea to live with her daughter's farming family in Arkansas.
It was the first Oscar nomination in a career that spans five decades for Youn, long a star in South Korea.
She seemed starstruck herself by Brad Pitt, who presented the award -- albeit after mispronouncing her name in the announcement.
"Mr. Brad Pitt, finally, nice to meet you!" she said. "Where were you when we were filming in Tulsa?" Pitt's production company, Plan B Entertainment, was behind "Minari," which was shot on location in Oklahoma. "It's an honor to meet you," she said.
Youn said many throughout the world have badly botched the pronunciation of her name, but "tonight you are all forgiven."
She said she was accustomed to watching the Oscars ceremony on television only, and expressed disbelief at being onstage accepting an Academy Award
"I cannot believe I'm here," she continued, saying she became family with the rest of the "Minari" cast and thanking director Isaac Chung Lee as their "captain."

Chris Connelly takes a trip down memory lane looking at some of the 93rd Academy Awards nominees' journeys before being helmed as top performers in film.
Frances McDormand has won the best actress Oscar for Nomadland at the 93rd Academy Awards, which are taking place in Los Angeles.
McDormand plays one of a group of retirees struggling to make ends meet, alongside a cast largely made up of non-professional actors. Written and directed by Chloé Zhao, the film was inspired by Jessica Bruder’s non-fiction book Nomadland: Surviving America in the Twenty-First Century.
This is McDormand’s third best actress Oscar: she took the prize for Fargo in 1997 and Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri in 2o18. Only Katharine Hepburn, with four, has won more best actress Oscars.
McDormand was considered a strong favourite for the award having won best actress at the Baftas and best actress in a film (drama) at the Golden Globes, but still had to defeat a strong field, including Viola Davis for Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom and Carey Mulligan in Promising Young Woman.

Anthony Hopkins pays tribute to Chadwick Boseman in his Oscars acceptance speech | GMA Hopkins reacted after winning his second Best Actor Oscar award for his role in “The Father.” Sir Anthony Hopkins has paid tribute to the late Chadwick Boseman in a short video from the Welsh countryside, in which he expressed his surprise at winning this year’s best actor Oscar. Unusually, the best actor winner was the final award of the always long ceremony this year, held, to allow better social distancing, at the Union railway station in Los Angeles. Many assumed it was scheduled last because Boseman, who died in August, would win posthumously for his role in Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom. Instead Hopkins was named winner for his role in The Father and since he was not available to make an acceptance speech the evening ended abruptly. On Monday, Hopkins posted a video on his Instagram page. Outside, framed by beautiful countryside, blue sky and the sound of birds singing, he said: “Good morning. Here I am in my homeland of Wales and at 83 years of age I did not expect to get this award, I really didn’t. I’m very grateful to the Academy and thank you. “I want to pay tribute to Chadwick Boseman who was taken from us far too early and again thank you all very much. I really did not expect this. So, I feel very privileged and honoured … thank you.” Hopkins was also unavailable for the Bafta film awards two weeks ago when his best actor award was accepted by Florian Zeller, writer of the original play and director of the film. The actor did however turn up virtually at the post-ceremony press conferences from his hotel in Wales.
