Promising Young Woman (2020 Emerald Fennell & scr)

Emerald's screenplay was particularly timely and won the Oscar and BAFTA, was Best Film and Best British Film also. Carey Mulligan was Oscar but not BAFTA nominated and editor Frédéric Thoraval nominated by both as Best Editor (who?)

This single, unexpected low shot is striking, and reminds me of that very high shot over the cliffs in Lady From Shanghai (which, incidentally, was one of several titles I proposed today that were rejected):



The scene leading up to, and of, the murder is one long brilliant take.
