Before being announced as the winner, there was controversy over the decision to place "Minari" in the Foreign Language category instead of the Drama category. Because this film was produced and financed by an American company and director and most of the cast and crew, except Han Ye Ri and Youn Yuh Jung, all of them were American.
Apart from the Golden Globes 2021, "Minari" was also nominated in the Critics Choice Association for the categories Best Picture, Best Actor, Best Supporting Actress, Best Young Actor / Actress, Best Acting Ensemble, Best Director, Best Original Screenplay, Best Cinematography, Best Foreign Language Film up to the Best Score.
"Minari" was also nominated for three nominations at the 27th Screen Actor Guild (SAG) awards. Since "Minari" was nominated in 10 categories for the Critics Choice Award, critics have seen this as having a positive impact on their candidacy for the Academy Awards. (wk / charity)
