[This is arguably more of a moment than a scene, but on the other hand one could consider the scene to continue into the coda and to the closing credits. Voters generally described it in spoiler-ish terms; I've chosen to keep it vague.]

HISTORY:

Lowery placed 4th in 2017 for A Ghost Story.

Washington gets his seventh career nod, going all the way back to the first Pazz & Jop-style year (1996), when he placed 18th for Courage Under Fire. In between: 15th for The Hurricane (1999), 2nd for Training Day (2001), 17th for Inside Man (2006), 16th for Flight (2012), and most recently 6th for Fences (2016). (I wasn't a fan of his mumbly Macbeth.) Rampling makes it four, with previous appearances (all in Actress) at #3 (Under the Sand, 2001), #10 (Swimming Pool, 2003), and #3 again (45 Years, 2015). Plemons is three for four since 2018: He placed 3rd in Supporting that year for Game Night and 12th in the lead category last year for I'm Thinking of Ending Things. Sennott is new, as is Jude.
