“Parasite” dominated the Oscars on a historic night

The cast and creative team for “Parasite” took the stage on Sunday to accept the award for best picture, capping off what was a huge night for the film and a significant night for global cinema.

• CAST (n.) /kæst/ = all the performers in a movie, play, etc. [elenco]
• PARASITE (n.) /ˈperəˌsaɪt/ = a lazy person who lives by getting money, food, etc. from other people [parasita] — Cf. Pronúncia de CASE, BASE, GASOLINE, HOUSE etc.
• AWARD (n.) /əˈwɔrd/ = a prize or other reward that is given to someone who has achieved something [prêmio]
• CAP OFF (phrasal verb) = to finish something with a very good final activity or achievement [arrematar, finalizar, concluir, fechar com chave de ouro]
• HUGE (adj.) /hjudʒ/ = extremely large in size, number, amount, or degree [enorme]

“I feel like a very opportune moment in history is happening right now,” producer Kwak Sin Ae said, via translator.

• OPPORTUNE (adj.) /ɑpərˈtun/ = something that is opportune happens at a suitable time or at a time that seems lucky [oportuno, propício]

• INTERPRETER (n.) /ɪnˈtɜrprətər/ = someone whose job is to translate what a speaker is saying in one language into another language so that someone else can understand it [intérprete]

She wasn’t wrong. “Parasite” picked up four awards on Sunday night, including a history-making best picture win.

• PICK UP (phrasal verb) = to win something such as a prize [ganhar, conquistar, faturar (inf.)] — Cf. Pronúncia dos verbos regulares no passado

After she spoke, Miky Lee, a Korean entertainment mogul, attempted to take a turn at the mic, but the lights on stage dimmed as the camera prepared to return to Jane Fonda, who would close the night.

• MOGUL (n.) /ˈmoʊɡ(ə)l/ = an important and powerful person in a particular activity or industry [magnata, líder, mandachuva] — Cf. Dark L
• TAKE A TURN (expr.) = to participate in an activity involving two or more participants [participar, ter a vez]
• MIC (n.) /maɪk/ = (informal) a microphone [microfone]
• DIM (v.) /dɪm/ = if a light dims, or if someone dims it, it becomes less bright [diminuir a intensidade da luz]

But those in the audience protested, asking loudly from their seats for the stage directors to turn the lights back up and let Lee speak.

• PROTEST (v.) /prəˈtest/ /ˈproʊˌtest/ = to disagree strongly with something, often by making a formal statement or taking action in public [protestar, reclamar]
