In case you’ve ever pondered just how to win an Oscar, scholarly help is available. Some dedicated individuals have expanded the corpus of human knowledge by applying a statistical fine-tooth-comb to 171,539 performances by 39,518 actors in 19,351 films that produced a total of 1,394 Oscar nominations from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, in order to find the answer.

If you have the time you can read the entire 11,449 word treatise below, or the 5-second version as follows: “to get an oscar stick with scorcese, leo, it’s the team, not you”.

I’d Like to Thank the Academy, Complementary Productivity and Social Networks - California Center for Populaion Research
