You point out that Sam Mendis already has an Oscar nomination. That alone should preclude him from the list, regardless of the category. Same thing as Tarantino. I believe that's how this was handled in previous years' versions of this poll. Well... as well as the other previously mentioned Oscar nominees as well.

Regarding #9, there is also a Korean documentary short nominee. Either it's a shared first, or you can remove the words "in any category".

Must you asterisk the word "excited"? It seems like an overcomplication of a simple question.

HONORABLE MENTIONS

James Mangold Ford v Ferrari
James Mangold
Best Film (producing), Ford v Ferrari
First Oscar-nomination for James Mangold in the producing category. He was previously nominated in the writing category for Logan.


Noah Baumbach Marriage Story
Noah Baumbach
Best Film (producing), Marriage Story

#35: Best Documentary Short Subject
