HISTORY: 

First appearance for the Ross brothers. 

In addition to her previously noted "nominations" (see that post) and her earlier nod this year for Shirley (see #13), Moss has placed 14th in Supporting for The Square (2017). Davis was lauded for Doubt (#8s, 2008), Blackhat (#18s, 2015), Fences (#7s, 2016), and Widows (#19, 2018). Ahmed landed at #17 in 2010 for Four Lions. Martin is new (and, alas, will never return). 

Kaufman, a three-time Screenplay winner (over just six years, 1999–2004), saw most of his appearances noted in the "nominations" post. But he did also place 17th for Confessions of a Dangerous Mind (2002) and 9th for Anomalisa (2015). I found his direction of this particular film much stronger than his adaptation of Reid's novel, but clearly I was in the minority.
