HISTORY: 

First time McDonagh has placed as a director. 

Swinton extends her lead as the most honored actor in Skandies history, with a whopping 18 appearances dating back to 1997, including an Actress win. (Coincidentally, she succeeds her own daughter, playing the same role, in the #13 spot—Honor Swinton Byrne landed there last year for The Souvenir Part II.) Because I'm annoyed by the way this site inserts carriage returns on mobile, making every list look unwieldy, I'm gonna give you her history in an image, straight from the master file I maintain. 

The other actors are new, as are Kruger and Singer. McQuarrie's screenplay for Edge of Tomorrow (2014, written with Jez & John-Henry Butterworth) came in at #9. (He'd very likely have placed for The Usual Suspects, but 1995 was the Skandies' first year, when I did it Oscar-style, and he wasn't among the five nominees.) 

Did not see Emily the Criminal coming. It would have fared even better—though probably no higher than 12th—were Dan Sallitt still voting, as it was among his favorites. That's another one I bailed on and will now dutifully watch in full, though in this case I'm a little more enthused about the prospect. (Think I had plausibility issues, and those sometimes iron themselves out.)
