In her acceptance speech, the Minari star Youn Yuh Jung began by introduced herself and feel honored by receiving the award.

She then paid tribute to the late Prince Philip, as he was the first President of The British Academy Film Awards.

“I would like to express my deep condolence for your Duke of Edinburgh,”
Youn Yuh Jung

She continued, “and thank you so much for this award. Every award is meaningful, but this one, especially being recognized by British people, known as very snobbish people, and they approve of me as a good actress, so I’m very privileged and happy. Thank you so much to the voters who voted for me, and thank you very much, BAFTA.”

Saying “very snobbish people” directly to British people during BAFTA awards was savage yet very hilarious, making everyone laugh. We can tell she is a legend, and her acceptance speech may be the best awards – acceptance speech in 2021 after Alan Kim’s cutest awards – acceptance speech in the 2021 Critics Choice Awards.
