Scene: Holding cell massacre, Malignant (46/6)
[This is Malignant's big spoiler, should you still be seeking to avoid that. Also very gruesome. The police station massacre—which I assume isn't continuous with this one, since somebody voted for both; really should have looked into that before now, actually, as I just don't remember—was also in there for a good while, but eventually fell to #23.]
HISTORY:
Trier, like Radu Jude yesterday, had never previously cracked the Director list.
Joaquin Phoenix moves into 4th place for most career Skandies appearances, with a total of eleven dating back to 2000. (Ahead of him are Tilda Swinton with 16 and Isabelle Huppert and Philip Seymour Hoffman with 13 each.) The complete roster:
1. Two Lovers (2009)
3. The Master (2012)
3. Inherent Vice (2014)
3. You Were Never Really Here (2018)
5. Her (2013)
9s. Gladiator (2000)
10. Walk the Line (2005)
10. The Immigrant (2014)
11. I'm Still Here (2010)
13. C'mon C'mon (2021)
15. Joker (2019)
Wasikowska gets her third nod, having previously landed at #19 in Actress (Jane Eyre, 2011; I'd forgotten that film existed) and #14 in Supporting (Only Lovers Left Alive, 2014). Swinton Byrne placed 6th two years ago for the first Souvenir. Hassell is new.
Holofcener's screenplays for Lovely & Amazing (2002) and Enough Said (2015) placed 10th and 15th, respectively. To my mild surprise, Affleck and Damon's Good Will Hunting script did in fact make the cut in 1997, at #17. (The film did not place in Picture.) Affleck also placed 5th in 2007 for co-writing Gone Baby Gone with Aaron Stockard. Gerry, perhaps understandably, failed to make the Screenplay cut, despite the film's 4th-place finish in Picture.
