The satirical piece has also been listed in the categories of best screenplay and best foreign language film. However, the Korean movie was not nominated for best motion picture. While "The Irish Man" by Martin Scorsese and "Joker" by Todd Phillips made the cut. Parasite is widely expected to win the Best Foreign Language Film award. The win would make Parasite the first South Korean movie to bring home a Golden Globe, raising its chances to win an Oscar in February.
