Youn Yuh-jung: Self - Winner

Quotes 

• Self - Winner : Mr. Brad Pitt, finally, nice to meet you. Where were you while we were filming in Tulsa? Is very honor to meet you. As you know, I'm from Korea and actually my name is Yuh-Jung Youn and most of European people call me Yuh-Yung and some of them call me Yoo-Jung. But tonight, you are all forgiven. And well, I would usually when I'm living in the other part of the world, I just watch the television. It is the Oscar, but, event on the television, just watching, like a television program for us. But me being here by myself, this I cannot believe. I'm here. Okay, let me pull myself together. Thank you for the tremendous thanks to the Academy members who vote for me. And next speech, okay, they usually say, okay, thank you for the... wonderful "Minari" family. Steven, Isaac, Yeri, and Noel, Alan. We became a family. And most of all, above all, Lee Isaac Chung. Without him I couldn't be here tonight. He was our captain and my director. So thanks to you. Tremendous thanks to you. And I like to thank to - well, see, I don't believing in competition. How can I win Glenn Close, win over Glenn Close? I've been watching her so many performances. So, this is just, all the nominee, five nominees, we are the winner for the different movie, different role. We played the different role. So we cannot compete each other. Tonight I'm here. It's just I have just little bit luck, I think, maybe. I'm luckier than you. And also, maybe, is American hospitality for the Korean actor? I'm not sure. But anyway, thank you so much. And I like to thank to my two boys, who made me go out and work. Beloved sons, Eol and Nuel, this is the result
