“Parasite” also became the first Korean film to win an Oscar.

Laura Dern won her first Oscar for her performance as a divorce attorney in Noah Baumbach's “Marriage Story”, which was from Netflix.
The streaming service's “American Factory” won best documentary. The film is the first release from Barack and Michelle Obama's Higher Ground Productions. No studio has spent more heavily this awards season than Netflix.
