To cap off the season for our #OscarsModel , here are our official results! As far as we know (and please prove us wrong!), ours was the SINGLE MOST ACCURATE Model in existence this year for both Oscar nominations *and* winners! 🥳🎉 A dream come true.

Randolph is officially the fourth actor in the last decade (first since 2015) to sweep both the Critics (NYFCC, LAFCA, NSFC) and Industry circuit (GG, CCA, BAFTA, SAG). The others: Blanchett 2014, Simmons and Arquette 2015… all won Oscars

The SAG races like these are so fascinating, because the narratives could swing SO much depending on the winner. If the GG/BAFTA/CC winner takes SAG, they’re a straight sweeper and it’s not close. If the other GG winner takes SAG, it gets into real toss-up territory.

Another great exercise for the #OscarsModel ! According to the math, *in a vacuum, assuming only Oscar-nominated winners,* it is Gladstone & Stone (even if Mulligan sweeps the rest, just barely!). If Stone wins anywhere- except a Gladstone SAG- she’s ahead. Otherwise, Gladstone!

This is where the #OscarsModel thrives! Let’s take a look at these possibilities in the Model (**in a vacuum**). The Model doesn’t see a path for Cooper to be the definitive frontrunner, though taking SAG and BAFTA would get him extremely close. Murphy on top for most iterations!

Only five films in the 21st century have converted a Q1 release into a Best Picture nomination. “Dune: Part Two” looms large as a potential (inevitable?) sixth in 2024. In my latest with @NextBestPicture , I take a look at where it lands among them and how these paths emerge! 👇🏼

Things I’m considering today: Production Design is much more closely tied to overall film strength at the Oscars, and Poor Things has that along with momentum (BAFTA/Guild over Barbie). Costumes are much more independent from overall strength, can kind of go their own way.

Typically the most important precursor for Best Director; Nolan strengthens his stranglehold in the #OscarsModel , reducing all others to single digits- shaping up to be one of the most noncompetitive races overall. Over in Doc F, 20 Days in Mariupol gets a boost from DGA, too!

According to the #OscarsModel ’s official predictions, is the Academy going to spread the wealth?? It’s a resounding no, since Oppenheimer is slated to take nine! But what about among everything else? Then definitely yes, with no other film getting more than two!

While the post-Oscars WGA does not affect this past year’s #OscarsModel results, it’s clear American Fiction was even more solid of a winner than we thought in March, and the Model appears totally correct that The Holdovers was the runner-up in Original. Let’s not do this again!

A pretty miraculous (fully deserved) win. Directing pair, in their mid 30s, making their second feature ever, never shying away from their goofiness on screen and in person. I’ve been skeptical of the Hollywood establishment fully opening their arms to them, but this says it all.

Some context from the #OscarsModel regarding Best Actress: In score *from precursors alone,* Gladstone leads with 2.66 to Stone’s 2.64. You don’t need to know a lot about the Model’s math to see how close that is! Close as can be! (Blanchett/Yeoh was 2.86 to 2.60, respectively)

Obviously, the #OscarsModel ≠ betting markets, but this has to be the biggest divide for a particular nominee right now. I *totally* understand the prediction of Godzilla Minus One in VFX (I disagree with the Model's estimation here), but the data simply doesn't support a win.

The last little bit of data came from the IPA Satellite Awards last night. Both won in their respective categories, but C/M has tracked with Oscar winners a bit better than D since the genre split in the category; Stone’s win was more valuable in the #OscarsModel

No rest for the #OscarsModel ! Both of us brothers have been hard at work today (and all week) adding new precursors and teaching the Model everything it needed to learn from the past seasons winners! The last year’s BEST #OscarsModel is getting better every day.

NBR is always exciting!! Quite reliable when it comes to translating to Oscar nominations, not so much when it comes to Oscar wins much of the time. Gladstone and Randolph keep the momentum going, while Ruffalo makes his first major splash. Another entry for the ‘24 #OscarsModel !

With the dust settled after Sunday’s Oscars, I got all my own personal prediction statistics updated; not sure if I’ve shared here! 8 years in, I still have 4 categories I’ve never predicted wrong: S Actor, Ad Screenplay, Animated F, International F.

Taking a moment to appreciate: Around Oscar nominations I had just over 100 followers here. Today, not long after, me+our #OscarsModel hit 200! While not huge numbers by any stretch of the imagination, doubling the reach in that short time means the world! Thanks to everyone!!

Most exciting day of the year for all our Animated contenders! The Feature category is the obvious best bellwether (64% over the last decade), with Character Animation also being fairly strong. And, PGA tomorrow! Here’s how our #OscarsModel shows the Animated race now:

With a win here at CAS, Oppenheimer significantly expands its lead here in Best Sound according to the #OscarsModel , mostly at the expense of The Zone of Interest. It's looking like a true lock for Oppenheimer; if The Zone of Interest is going to upset, it'll be on passion alone!

We have a piece of data in the #OscarsModel that shows us “expected” number of nominees based on the field’s strength (over 5 xNominees means officially stronger than the avg year), and Production Design is the strongest of the techs so far, already (!) closer to 6 than 5.

One of the most stacked categories this year in the Oscar race is sneakily Best Production Design. These nominations are absolutely indicative of that.

Last year, EEAAO won 7 Oscars in the biggest haul since Gravity. This year, Oppenheimer looks poised to perhaps even surpass that. Where do you think Oppenheimer will end up?

@IMadeAn19050380 @MitchellCurtiss We have lots of ideas! Don’t want to over promise, so I’ll try to be transparent during/before next year. Definitely a couple new precursors, a few other mechanics, tweaking things that led us astray. Lots, we’ll see what sticks!

@jessiblady They have nearly identical precursor records, but it has recognition at LAFCA and NSFC and NBR wins that Oppenheimer doesn’t- that explains the tiny lead.

BAFTA throws some curveballs at the top of the ticket, while crafts break fairly expectedly! Weird showings for KOTFM and Barbie, Saltburn and The Zone of Interest get a boost, and the jury system shows strengths and weaknesses. The #OscarsModel will be FULLY updated later today!

In this article from February, I mentioned an overall Oscar Win Strength metric we have in the #OscarsModel . Oppenheimer ranked 7th in the last decade at the time of writing. After BAFTAs, Oppenheimer officially passed La La Land for the #1 spot!! Rankings and scores below 👇🏼

A couple notes that convinced me of this today: -The CC Award for PD has matched 9/10 in the last decade (Barbie won this), leads PT in Model -Half of the decade’s last Costume Design winners have been sole nominees; predicting Poor Things only in Costumes isn’t unjustifiable
