For some reason we never did this in February.
* Lily Gladstone is the first native American to be nominated for an Oscar in the best actress category.
* Emma Stone is the 6th youngest person to win best actress twice (behind Luise Rainer, Jodie Foster, Hilary Swank, Olivia de Havilland and Bette Davis).
* For the 3rd time, Martin Scorsese directed a film that scored 10 nominations and won nothing.
* Justine Triet is the 9th woman to be nominated for direction.
* Annette Bening is officially the only actor to have been nominated in 4 consecutive decades without winning once. Her husband Warren Beatty never won in the acting categories, but has won once for direction.
* Sandra Hueller is the first German actress to be nominated since Luise Rainer (Sandra Bullock is also a German citizen and she does speak German, but I mean ...).
* For the 1st time since 2017, none of the 2023 acting winners at the Venice/Cannes/Berlin film festivals were nominated for an Oscar.
* Cillian Murphy is the only Irish actor to win in the best actor category other than Daniel Day-Lewis.
* The Boy and the Heron is the second non-3D film to win in the animated feature category. The first is the iconic Spirited Away directed by the same director.
* Billie Eillish is the youngest person to have won twice. Her brother Finneas is the second youngest.
I'm sure there are more. Please add your input.

- Godzilla Minus One is the first foreign language Best Visual Effects winner. Speaking of which... - Takashi Yamazaki joins Stanley Kubrick as the Best Visual Effects winner who also happened to be the director of the triumphant film  |

The makeup/leading acting stat holds. It's just that people were looking at the wrong acting category.

Mark Ruffalo ties with Claude Rains and Arthur Kennedy for the most Supporting Actor nominations without a win in any category.

Is this specifically for Best Actress? Because Kirsten Dunst, a Best Supporting Actress nominee, also has German citizenship. Justine Triet is the first French woman nominated for Best Director!  |

If Dunst counts, then so should Bullock, as she carries dual citizenship and is fluent in the language. |

I love that this is a once-in-10-years tradition now: Mystic River - 2003, Dallas Buyers Club - 2013, Oppenheimer - 2023. Can't wait to see which dudes are gonna take it in 2033! |

Stone is the second actress to win for a Lanthimos film. Not only that but also the second to beat the GG Drama/SAG winner in the process with a comedic performance |

I'm not counting Bullock so I obviously am not gonna count Dunst either ... she doesn't even speak the language. She's about as German as Julia Louis-Dreyfus is French. |

stabcaesar - Girl, I am just stating a fact!  Of course I don't consider her German, but since you mentioned Bullock I thought I'd mention Dunst, as well. Fun fact: Dunst's German citizenship is what allowed her to be nominated for Best European Actress at the European Film Awards for Melancholia. So, she and Sandra Hüller share that, as well.

Obligatory John Williams broke his own records for most nominated living person and oldest Oscar nominee. Two-time nonagenarian, I guess that's a new stat.
I'm curious if he actually has the longest consecutive losing streak (regardless of previous wins, of course.) He's at 23 since Schindler's List, Kevin O'Connell's run was 20...

Agreed. If I were an actor, I'd rather have one of my accomplished peers complimenting my work in public than a 5-second clip which might not even show me at my best. Mulligan seemed very flattered by Lange's words, she looked like she was about to cry. |

Has it already been said?
Robert DeNiro officially becomes the actor with the biggest timespan between his first nomination and last nomination (49 years since Godfather Part 2), thus beating Katherine Hepburn (48 years) and Al Pacino (47 years).
Talk about a good long run.

Jessica basically said to Carey "you carried that horrible movie on your shoulders and make it watchable" |

Robert Downey, Jr. is the first SNL cast member to win an Oscar. And I love the irony that 9 years ago, for SNL's 40th anniversary, "Rolling Stone" did a ranking of every single SNL cast member and out of over 50 people, Downey was ranked DEAD LAST. Tbh, not a bad choice to anyone who's watched that horrendous season (and 20-year-old him and 17-year-old Anthony Michael Hall stood out as particularly & pathetically out of their element awful), but still ironic. Also, while this Oscar telecast was better than most, it's also ironic that his abominable SNL season 100% feels like a season-long disastrous Oscar ceremony. Rent or buy on Prime ANY single episode from that season and you'll see what I mean. |

At least the second time a legendary actor revealed the winner in a fairly unorthodox way.

Not a major one, but it's the only time besides '05-'06 that Disney/Pixar went two years in a row without winning Best Animated Picture

Of course I don't consider her German, but since you mentioned Bullock I thought I'd mention Dunst, as well.
