Abstract
Oscar Seasons: The Intersection of Data and the Academy Awards
Highlights
The Academy Awards honor the year’s best in film, and since 1934 they’ve considered all motion pictures released in Los Angeles between January 1 and December 31 (Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, 2019)
The results pointed to three phases over Oscar history in how release dates related to the award results
With earlier dates for the Academy Awards, the optimal time has shifted backwards to October and November. Much of this push toward later releases is driven by more recent Oscar seasons
Summary
You’ve probably already seen Marvel’s $1.3 billion (Box Office Mojo, 2019) hit Black Panther—that came out way back on February 16—and as you’d discover at year’s Oscar nominations announcement, no other Best Picture nominee has been released yet. At first glance, this is a little surprising.
