Not only did Bong Joo-ho’s Parasite make history at this year’s Oscars by being the first non-English language film to win the Best Picture award, but the writer/director himself actually tied a creative icon for most Oscar wins in a single ceremony.
Bong Joo-ho took home four Oscars tonight – for Best Picture, Best Original Screenplay, Best Director, and Best International Feature Film. In doing do he tied the record for most single night wins with…Walt Disney.

Disney too brought home four Oscars back in 1954 – for The Living Desert (Best Documentary Feature), The Alaskan Eskimo (Best Documentary Short), Toot, Whistle, Plunk and Boom (Best Short Subject Cartoon), and Bear Country (Best Short Subject Two-Reel).
The pool for those who’ve taken home only three Oscars in one sitting is a little more crowed, as eleven people have accomplished that – including James Cameron, Peter Jackson and Alfonso Cuarón, to name a few.
