Just two days earlier, Youn earned the same award from the North Carolina Film Critics Association, taking to seven the number of gongs she has been presented so far by U.S. film critics associations such as the Sunset Film Circle, the Boston Society of Film Critics, the Los Angeles Film Critics Association, the Greater Western New York Film Critics Association and the Alliance of Women Film Journalists.
The film's successful award-season run is boosting hopes that it will follow in the footsteps of director Bong Joon-ho's "Parasite" and claim an award at the upcoming Oscars in late April. "Parasite" won multiple gongs at last year's Academy Awards.
