      Data are scraped from The Numbers, Box Office Mojo, and Wikipedia.

      I feel like this would look better as a stacked bar to see how much each nominee contributes.

      So the Academy has become considerably more snobbish since the 90s and only the expansion to double the nominees can make up for that? Makes perfect sense really

      Those 0 doesn’t seem like 0. One is Covid but nothing happened in 1952?

      And by the way if you are curious , the 1974 line up:

      | Movie | Result |
      |:—|:—|
      | **The Sting** | **Winner** |
      | American Graffiti | Nominee |
      | Cries and Whispers | Nominee |
      | The Exorcist | Nominee |
      | A Touch of Class | Nominee |

      Cool concept, but the labeling leaves much to be desired. The number-two movie isn’t even labeled. wtf

      Avatar 2 came out in 2022? Didn’t Avatar 3 just come out?
