[Another case in which I couldn't find the scene itself but did find a breakdown by the film's director.]
HISTORY:
Peele placed one notch higher at #11 for Get Out (2017).
Kidman's 11th career Skandies appearance places her in a tie for 4th all-time, behind Tilda Swinton (18), Isabelle Huppert (15), and Philip Seymour Hoffman (15). (The other two with 11 are Julianne Moore and Joaquin Phoenix). On top of which, she was among the five Oscar-style nominees in the survey's first year, for To Die For (1995) (but lost to Julianne Moore in Safe).
Dinklage makes his first appearance in nearly 20 years, having landed in exactly the same spot, #12, for The Station Agent (2003). Johnson and Lynch are new, though I feel as if we've seen the latter around here somewhere before...
Gray's screenplay for Two Lovers (2009, written with Ric Menello), likewise placed 12th. The two of them also landed at #17 for The Immigrant (2014), and Gray placed solo at #16 for The Lost City of Z (2017). Thankfully, we did not honor his achievement in penning Ad Astra's daddy issues.
The Fabelmans is a bad movie and if you voted for it you should feel bad.
