HISTORY:

Johnson placed 8th for Cameraperson in 2016.

Mikkelsen seems long beloved, but his sole previous appearance was at #14 for Vinterberg's The Hunt (2013). Everyone else is new, including MacLachlan, because the third season of Twin Peaks was not a movie. 

Nolan is a two-time Screenplay winner (Memento, 2001; The Prestige, 2006, in collaboration with his brother Jonathan). He's also placed 15th for Batman Begins (2005, co-written with David S. Goyer), 3rd for The Dark Night (2008, with Jonathan), and 10th for Inception (2010). 

Now that I look, the Screenplay points are just insanely low, and it's not due to the top few films sucking them all up. Just a lack of consensus. There's also a record-breaking Director/Screenplay split (and we'll soon see the survey's first-ever Screenplay "nominee" for a film that didn't place in Picture at all).

Surprised that The Dark Knight placed third.

It was a very dark night indeed.

If the remaining six pan out like I expect, this will have been a banner year for nonfiction and nonfiction-adjacent cinema. Which seems somehow appropriate for 2020.

Went back and checked, this will likely be the first time three docs place in the top 20. But what do you mean by nonfiction-adjacent?

Oh, I mean films that are fiction but are built around nonfiction elements. I was specifically thinking of Nomadland and Vitalina Varela.
