During his acceptance speech for “Best Director”, he made a special shoutout to his fellow nominees, but most importantly, director Martin Scorsese!
Director Bong revealed that while studying film, he was deeply inspired by Director Scorsese’s quote, “The most personal is the most creative.” He turned the honor to Director Scorsese during his speech, leading to the whole crowd rising for a standing ovation!
Martin Scorsese gave the cutest thumbs up and appreciation to Bong Joon Ho for giving him the special shoutout during his own acceptance speech.
After the legendary interaction between two legendary directors, Martin Scorsese’s daughter, Francesca Scorsese, took to Instagram to mention the standing ovation.
