How to use the dataset
This dataset provides valuable insights into the winners, nominees and trends of the best movie Oscar award since its inception in 1929. In order to get started in analyzing the data, it is important to understand each of the columns provided and how they can be used together to uncover trends or other patterns.
Each row contains information associated with a particular movie: title, original title, year of release, duration, country of release, director, actors, genre given as strings; description given as plain text; awards received (if any) along with floats representing ratings (average rating and number of rating votes) related metrics. Further analysis can be done using reviews gathered from major sources like IMDB or Rotten Tomatoes as well as posters related to movies. Ultimately reviews can provide a deeper level understanding regarding viewers responses while posters helps us gain further insights on production values at this time-period. For example user’s own vote can be assembled from online voting sites by utilizing higher-level language processing techniques such as sentiment analysis for gauging positive/negative reactions towards nominated films which cannot otherwise looked upon through average votes alone.
Research Ideas
- Analyzing the impact of drama films compared to other genres in terms of winning the Oscar award - By delving into differences this data provides between the nominated movies and Oscars winners, it is possible to identify trends and explore the success rate of certain genres. This can be done by creating a comparison between dramatic films, fantasy films, comedies, war films etc.
- Measuring influential directors throughout history - By looking at each director's won awards for their movie nominations over time we can measure which ones have been particularly influential in advancing technology or techniques used in filmmaking to win awards and differentiate between those who have had consistent success with different storytelling approaches compared to those who use more traditional methods that were groundbreaking during their time.
- Tracking what awards or honors a particular actor is associated with throughout their career- By searching through this dataset by an actor name one can easily track down what sort of honor an individual has achieved not only within movies but across fields such as television series where certain actors may achieved popularity but less recognition with respect to awards
