Still reeling from the nominations but some fun facts…

1. Two sequels and one remake made it in Best Picture.
2. Only 4 actors out of 20 are repeat nominees. No previous nominee in Best Actor.
3. For the fifth year in a row, a movie mostly not in English language is in Best Picture.
4. Banshees and Everything Everywhere both got four acting nominees in.
5. John Williams has now been nominated in seven (8?) consecutive decades.
6. For the second year in a row, a Best Actress nominee that got none of the main precursors has showed up.

Feel free to add more.

The director and original screenplay nominees go to the same five films. Has that ever happened before? That’s cool.

Judd Hirsch might be the longest stretch in nominations, 42 years. From 1980 to 2022. Alan Arkin had the record, I think, at 38 years? And maybe the record between first and last too at 46.

It was Henry Fonda with 41 between first and second nomination.
Katharine Hepburn alone has 48 years between first and last nominations. I bet there is somebody else.

Came here to write this. It never happened before, there were 4 films overlapping twice (1998 and 2014).

James Coco in Only When I Laugh was also queer in film and in real life.

Marilyn Monroe as icon is now twice Oscar nominated. It was Michelle Williams first then now Ana de Armas. They’re both nominated this year in the same category.

The luck of the Irish:
Colin Farrell, Paul Mescal, Brendan Gleeson, Barry Keoghan and Kerry Condon.
