Scene: Forest theater, Beau Is Afraid (62/4)

[I really should've checked before now to see how long this is—the entire forest sequence, including Beau as spectator only, runs well over my 20-minute maximum. But I imagine people meant to vote for the fanciful stretch during which Beau imagines himself onstage, which is under the limit. Not anywhere online that I can find.]

HISTORY: 

First time for Triet. I was one of only two people who voted for her direction of Sibyl. 

Fassbender becomes one of only 14 actors in Skandie history to appear nine times (or more), which is pretty impressive given that he was entirely absent for the past five years. He's placed 5th for Hunger (2009), 14th in Supporting for Inglourious Basterds (also 2009), 12th in Supporting for Fish Tank (2010), 5th again for Shame (2011), 3rd in Supporting for 12 Years a Slave (2013), 16th in Supporting for Frank (2014), 5th yet again for/as Steve Jobs (2015), and most recently 8th in Supporting for Alien: Covenant (2017). Everyone else is new. 

Baumbach and Gerwig together previously placed 2nd for Frances Ha (2013) and 4th for Mistress America (2015). Baumbach solo won outright for The Squid and the Whale (2005) and has also placed 10th for The Life Aquatic With Steve Zissou (co-written with Wes Anderson), 4th for Margot at the Wedding (2007), 5th for Fantastic Mr. Fox (with Wes Anderson, 2009), 7th for Greenberg (2010), 3rd for The Meyerowitz Stories (New and Selected) (2017), 3rd again for Marriage Story (2019), and 8th just last year for White Noise (which also landed in the top 10 for Director yet was somehow not considered one of 2022's best films by almost anyone but me). Gerwig solo placed 4th for Lady Bird and 5th for Little Women (2019).
