It was a year with a record number of nonwhite acting nominees, plus two female directing nominees for the first time ever. And that means lots of landmarks could take place on Oscar night.
Here are some of them, on a list that is understandably heavy on “Nomadland” wins:
If Chloé Zhao wins Best Director for “Nomadland,” she’ll become the second woman to win the award, after Kathryn Bigelow for “The Hurt Locker” in 2010. (So would Emerald Fennell, if she wins for “Promising Young Woman.”) Zhao would also become the first Asian woman and the first non-white woman to win the award.

Warren is one of only seven individuals to receive 12 Oscar nominations but no wins. And that’s across all categories not just music. Moreover, Warren is one of only three such individuals who is still living; the other two are sound expert Greg P. Russell and film scorer Thomas Newman. While any of these three pros may win one day and thus move off this list, for as long as they are on it, they should take comfort in the fact they are in good company. Legendary writer/director Federico Fellini and noted film scorer Alex North are also on this list.
