The Academy Awards, officially known as the Oscars, honor artistic and technical merit in the film industry. The 96th Academy Awards 2024 is scheduled for Sunday, March 10, 2024, and will recognize movies released in 2023.
The first dataset contains information about movies nominated for the award from 1928 to 2023. The second dataset contains information on actors and actresses who were nominated for the 2024 Oscars and their respective movies.
For this challenge, only focus on the winner of the actor, actress, supporting actor, or supporting actress categories.
Your task this week is to find:
- Actors/Actresses with eight or more nominations.
- Actors/Actresses who have eight more nominations than they have total awards (do not consider nominees with zero awards).
- Actors/Actresses who won every time they were nominated.
- Actors/Actresses with five or more nominations who have never won.
- 2024 nominees who have won before.
