Dressed in a black pantsuit and a bright pink top, Reichert landed one of the most primo spots of all, smack dab in the middle, right next to iconic actor Al Pacino (The Irishman) and a stone's throw from actresses Charlize Theron (Bombshell), Cynthia Erivo (Harriet) and Renee Zellweger (Judy).

This Oscar nomination is the fourth for Reichert and the second for Bognar.

Bognar and Reichert, a Yellow Springs couple together for more than 30 years, previously received an Academy Award nomination in the “Best Documentary (short subject)” category for their 2009 HBO film “The Last Truck” about the closing of that very same GM plant that now houses Fuyao in Moraine.
