Lots of people predicting it for a Best Picture nod but not even Kurosawa could pull that off...
Negatives:
Only 1 Asian film ever nominated in BP - Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. Only 3 in Director - Woman in the Dunes (wtf nom), Ran (legendary filmmaker), Crouching Tiger (epic film). No South Korean film has even gotten a Foreign Film nomination, let alone a major nom.
Positives:
LAFCA and NSFC could go wild for this - Burning was their runner-up last year in Best Picture, almost topping Roma. Cannes win. More of a popular favorite than previous Korean entries? Weak BP field this year? New international members?
Definitely rooting for it to go all the way but I doubt it will be easy. Best Director seems more likely.

I think it's not only in for Picture, I think it also gets into Director and Screenplay. I also have a sneaking suspicion we'll see a left-field supporting actress nomination from a major critics' body or even the industry. Is it eligible for SAG Ensemble?

You cant discount this one. It made big bucks in limited.

Been busy lately and I've fallen out of the loop with what's happening in the race so far, but I'm delighted to see people think it's a best picture contender.

I think it does, the year is so dry that a film like this easily pops out and the response and hype is strong and imo delivers. Is a number 1 pick, for sure
Pic, Dir and Screenplay are major possibilities but I wouldn't discount a technical nomination as well, maybe editing

I'm pretty sure it will get BP and direction nominations.

I think it gets BP and BD and screenplay because it's The Irishman's (theoretical, not real) competition film in terms of truly passionate support (no one, at all, will be passionate about divorce, Little Women, Hitler satires, or life insurance - wait do we have a life insurance movie? Oh.......hmmmmm).
Parasite conquers the pacinoyes challenge that all films gain a lot of power when they are about the right now - and what Parasite says about the right now on class differences was funny and not at all - it is timely, tightly constructed and precise. I rank it below Mother and Memories of Murder in his filmography but its my #1 non-doc anyway in 2019 so far....... and this film speaks to many more people than those two could ever hope to.

I'm going to say yes and I really really hope it does. It has so much hype, exponentially more than Burning last year.

I'd love to think that if this film does hit big with awards, than Song Kang-ho might have a shot at a nomination. He was so bloody great, and it would be so well deserved.
