Minari star Yuh-Jung Youn made history at the Oscars and delivered another endearing acceptance speech.
The South Korean actress, 73, has long been a superstar in her own country but only recently rose to prominence in the West thanks to her role in Minari.
She played a wily but loving grandmother in the acclaimed family drama.
Youn won best supporting actress at the Oscars, becoming the first Korean to win an acting Academy Award and only the second Asian woman after Miyoshi Umeki in 1958.
It was the latest major award win of a memorable few weeks for Youn.
She picked up the same prize at the Screen Actors Guild Awards and the Baftas.
