Let me know if I forgot anything:
1. Chloe Zhao became the first Asian woman and second female to win Best Director.
2. Frances McDormand became the fourth woman to win at least three acting Oscars.
3. Anthony Hopkins became one of ten actors to win at least two leading male Oscars.
4. Speaking of Anthony Hopkins, he's the oldest person to win an acting Oscar. He's 83 years old.
5. Yuh-Jung Youn has become the first Korean actor to win an Academy Award and the 7th Asian actor to win an Oscar.
6. Daniel Kaluuya became the 15th black actor to win an Oscar. 7. Emerald Fennell became the 20th woman to win a screenplay Oscar.
8. Singer H.E.R won for Best Song at the Oscars and the Grammys in the same year.
9. The Producer's Guild winner and the Best Picture winner have lined up 22 out of 32 times or 69%.
10. The Director's Guild winner and the Best Picture winner have lined up 55 out of 73 times or 75%.
11. 74 out of the 93 Best Picture winners (80%) were nominated for directing, writing, and editing (starting when it was created). Green Book (Director), Birdman (Editing), Argo (Director), Titanic (Screenplay), and Driving Miss Daisy (Director) are the recent five exceptions.
12. The Best Director winner and the DGA winner have lined up 65 out of 73 times or 89% of the time.
13. Since 2011, the Best Actor winner starred in a Best Picture nominee. Only seven actors have won Best Actor without their film being nominated for picture, directing or writing. The seven exceptions were Jeff Bridges (2010), Forest Whittaker (2007), Denzel Washington (2002), Michael Douglas (1988), John Wayne (1970), Clifford Robertson (1969), and José Ferrer (1951).
14. This was the first-time the Best Actress winner didn't win the Golden Globe since Halle Berry in 2002.
15. First-time since Million Dollar Baby, the Best Picture winner and Best Actress winner came from the same film.
16. This was the first-time the top 8 categories (or 9 if you count Best Film Editing) lined up with the BAFTA.
17. The BAFTA Best Actress winner has lined up with the Oscar winner since 2013.
18. This was the first-time the BAFTA Best Film has lined up with the Oscar winner since 12 Years A Slave.
19. Nomadland joins Green Book, The Shape of Water, and Braveheart as the only Best Picture winners without a SAG Ensemble nomination.
20. Sound of Metal winning Best Film Editing and Best Sound makes it the eighth straight year those two categories went to the same film.

Anthony Hopkins is the second non-American actor to win two Best Actor Oscars. Daniel Day-Lewis is the only other one to do this.
On that note, Hopkins is not just the oldest Best Actor winner, but he's the oldest acting winner period.

I also noticed that the Best Actress winner typically come from films nominated for picture, director, screenplay and/or editing. Currently I count between 15-20 exceptions.
Recent examples:
Renee Zellwegger (Judy) Julianne Moore (Still Alice) Meryl Streep (The Iron Lady) Marion Cotillard (Le Vie En Rose) Charlize Theron (Monster) Hilary Swank (Boys Don't Cry) Jessica Lange (Blue Sky) Kathy Bates (Misery) Jodi Foster (The Accused) Maggie Smith (The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie)

Ugh!!! I just can't with Halle being the only one. Yeah, it's sad that (a) only 15 black actors have won acting Oscars (b) Berry is the only black actor to win Best Actress (c) Sidney Poitier, Denzel Washington, Jamie Foxx, Halle Berry, and Forest Whittaker are the only black actors to win leading performance Oscars.
We will see what happens in the future.

Anthony Hopkins is the first acting winner to not be present at the ceremony since Heath Ledger. That was weird that Best Actor was the last category. The show thought it would be Boseman and it would be a historic and tearful moment. Didn't happen. Hopkins gave a rambling speech where he dedicated the Oscar to Boseman. I don't blame Hopkins for doing that. People wanted to see Boseman win an Oscar. |

Ugh!!! I just can't with Halle being the only one. Either Diana Ross or Cicely Tyson really should've been the first to win in 1973 over Liza Minelli. Loved Diahann Carroll in Claudine too two years later. Wish Alfre Woodard hadn't been snubbed last year either. All of these women would've been deserving winners, not to mention others I'm forgetting. Hopefully we will start seeing more diverse best actress winners. |

It's really unfortunate that What's Love Got to Do with It had to be released in the same year as The Piano. If it had come out just a year later Angela Bassett would've swept. |

How about Hopkins' 30 year gap between his two wins? Any stat for that?

She definitely would've deserved it over Lange. |

Ugh!!! I just can't with Halle being the only one. RIGHT! Like, Andra Day AND Viola Davis were BOTH sitting RIGHT THERE! With everything the Academy normally loves! And Frances would not have cared a second if she lost to one of them (she'd probably be over the moon honestly). |

Some goofy ones ......sorta. * There are only 4 living men with a Best Actor Oscar and a Best Actor Tony - the 3 living Triple Crown winners (Irons, Pacino, Rush) and Denzel Washington (just missing the Emmy). If Andrew Garfield and Denzel Washington are both nominated (likely) and Garfield wins (not as likely) - he will become the only man to beat another of those men for both the Oscar and the Tony (Garfield won in 2018, Washington nominated). Actually regardless who wins these already ARE the only 2 living men to even compete against each other for both of those awards - both in the 2016 Oscar BA field. Some of these others have been talked about before in other threads: * If DiCaprio is nodded that is 4 straight nominations for released films - a record and a 5th is "likely" next year breaking his own record (if nodded). * If Washington is nodded - that's the first PoC nodded for Shakespeare, the first person nodded for Macbeth and 2nd American male ever nodded for Shakespeare (besides Brando) * If Alana Haim amd Jennifer Hudson are both nodded - 2 of the 5 nominees will be comprised of people who got nodded for their first roles which I don't think has ever happened in any BA field (?) * Not Oscar trivia but a funny one to me anyway - Denzel Washington has never been in a film with more than 5 Oscar nominations (Glory, 5 in 1989) - because you know........his acclaimed filmography is shaky (it is, come on) but his son has (6 for Blackkklansman). If TToM overperforms it could get to 6 nods ..... * Not Oscar trivia but a cool one for Anglophiles: If Lord Benedictus Cumbypatches wins the BAFTA (likely?) he becomes the 9th British Version of the Triple Crown winner (BAFTA film, BAFTA TV, Olivier Award for theater) - and along with Mark Rylance the only living male to have done it.  |

I don't know if this has been mentioned elsewhere but if Kenneth Branagh is (very likely) nominated for Best Picture (for being a co-producer) and Best Original Screenplay, he will have accrued Oscar nominations in seven unique categories, overtaking Walt Disney and George Clooney, who currently both share the record at six each.

"* If Alana Haim amd Jennifer Hudson are both nodded - 2 of the 5 nominees will be comprised of people who got nodded for their first roles which I don't think has ever happened in any BA field (?)" Of course this applies to Zegler in BA also (unless I'm mistaken?) or, gulp, all THREE of them  |

Along the same lines - from Gold Derby for this year : Two years after he was notoriously left out of the Best Director Oscar lineup for “Jaws,” Steven Spielberg earned his first shot at the gold for helming the sci-fi drama “Close Encounters of the Third Kind.” Although he lost to fellow newcomer Woody Allen (“Annie Hall”), the recognition was enough to kick off his and the academy’s warm, 44-year relationship, which has resulted in his three competitive wins from 17 nominations. Now that he is on track to score his eighth directing bid for “West Side Story,” he will likely come one step closer to beating William Wyler’s category record of 12 and make history as the first director to be recognized in six different decades. |

What's the nomination tally record for a writer/director before they won? PTA is on track to potentially hit eleven career nominations this year if he gets Picture/Director/Original Screenplay, and while he might come away with a win at last in the latter category, it is by no means a certainty.
