Sharon Choi, a filmmaker and fellow director Bong Joon Ho s translator during this awards show season, is the true winner of the 2020 Oscars .

Mentions of Choi blew up on social media on Sunday when she took the stage several times throughout the 92nd Academy Awards to translate the Parasite directors acceptance speeches.

Additionally, interviews cropped up of the 25-year-old Korean American talking about her directing aspirations as well as Bong calling her a great filmmaker.

In one post-show interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Choi shared how translating on such a large stage made her super anxious, but that its been great. When she was pressed about her own ambitions, Bong stepped in to say, Shes perfect, and we all depend on her. Shes also a great filmmaker.

Bong was asked in another post-show interview whether he would help Choi with her film work in the future.

You already know shes a filmmaker. She studied film in the university. So, Im so curious about her script. Actually, shes writing some feature-length script. Im so curious about it, the director said, while Choi blushed and laughed by his side.

Choi, who lives in Seoul, has reportedly only been working with Bong since May 2019, according to The Guardian . She was an indispensable part of his team at the Cannes Film Festival, where Parasite won the Palme dOr, per The Guardian.

Its unclear what the script shes writing is about, but it seems that shes already quite beloved on social media. In one of the many posts about her on Twitter on Oscars night, someone even made a composite of some of her awards season appearances:

We can only hope that well see more of Choi, perhaps all on her own, during the next awards season.
