HISTORY:

This is the first appearance for both Araki and July.

It's apropos that Auteuil and Binoche wound up in the same slot for the same film, since they've been following each other around throughout Skandie history. Both have placed twice previously: in 1996 (Binoche 6th in Supporting for The English Patient; Auteuil 16th in Lead for Thieves (Les Voleurs)), and again in 2001 (Binoche 13th in Supporting for Code Unknown; Auteuil 18th in Lead for The Widow of Saint-Pierre, for which Binoche didn't make the cut). And this is Russell's third consecutive appearance, following Lead nods in 2003 (#20, Dark Blue) and 2004 (#18, Miracle).
