Scene: Gymnasium / Fay's new tape recorder, The Vast of Night (77/6)
(Most people wrote something like "opening scene" or "basketball game," but there were also votes for the tape recorder and after watching it again I decided that the action is so continuous that it constitutes a single scene. And it's all under the 20-minute limit. The clip linked above is just the last few minutes, all that I could find on YouTube.)
HISTORY:
Durkin placed 10th for Martha Marcy May Marlene in 2011. (That was an insane year, competition-wise, so 10th then might be the equivalent of 6th now.)
Janney's Oscar-winning performance in I, Tonya three years ago was good enough only for #9 in our collective opinion. Everyone else is new, as are both writers.
