Bong Joon Ho’s darkly funny thriller “Parasite” made history at the Screen Actors Guild awards Sunday in Los Angeles, taking the top prize for best cast in a motion picture. It’s the first time that award has gone to a film not in the English language, and an even more remarkable feat given that none of the movie’s individual actors were nominated.

Still, the industry’s passion for “Parasite” was evident: When cast members came out earlier in the show to present their movie, they were greeted with a standing ovation. “I will never forget this beautiful night,” the actor Song Kang Ho said.

Could “Parasite” next go on to become the first foreign-language film to win the best-picture Oscar? Increasingly, it seems like the race will become a head-to-head matchup between Bong’s film and the war movie “1917,” which took another big precursor trophy Saturday night at the awards ceremony thrown by the Producers Guild of America.

Aside from that galvanizing win, it was business as usual at the SAG Awards, as all four acting trophies went to the same quartet that has already prevailed at the Golden Globes and Critics’ Choice Awards.
