I’ve officially compiled a list of every Oscar-nominated performance that I believe to be a case of category fraud.

As it stands, there are 122 (out of the 1661 performances nominated since the introduction of the supporting categories). I’ll be posting 1 per day in this thread. ImageImageImageImage NOTES: ImageImage

THREAD: Screen time data for It (2017 - 2019) Image I’ll be presenting this data in three ways:

1. Each actor’s screen time in each film
2. Total series screen time (actors)
3. Total series screen time (characters)*

*Bear in mind that in Ch. Two, two actors who play the same character sometimes appear on screen simultaneously.

Just want to point out that Eddie Murphy has not only broken but *demolished* the record for longest span between 1st and 2nd acting Emmy nominations for the same program (37 YEARS).

• 1983 - Supporting Actor (Comedy) - SNL
• 2020 - Guest Actor (Comedy) - SNL Image The record was previously held by Patrick McGoohan, who was first nominated for Columbo in 1975, and then again 15 years later in 1990. Both nominations resulted in wins. Image

Farewell, Olivia de Havilland

She simultaneously held 5 titles for 5 years:

• Oldest living Oscar-winning actor
• Oldest living Best Actress winner
• Oldest living Oscar-nominated actor
• Oldest living Best Actress nominee
• Oldest living Best Supporting Actress nominee Image No one else has ever held as many titles at once, or at all.

She was also one of only three Oscar-winning actors to reach the age of 100. Her long life has caused the average life expectancy of Best Actress winners to increase from 77 to 78.

I've now timed all 900* performances ever nominated for a leading acting Oscar. I can now definitively say that the average nominated leading performance is 1 hr, 7 min, and 2 sec long.

This chart shows the average percentage of each year's nominees (blue = male, red = female). Image *Disclaimer: 905 performances have been nominated for leading acting Oscars, but 5 are in lost films and are impossible to time.
