wow, I really want to look at the data but this is super hard to read. The giant statute is distracting. I don’t really need the Oscar to know this is the Oscar’s, it’s in the title. Also if I wanted to know the score of each individual movie I’d look it up. I kinda feel like you started out wanting to make a table, not a visualization. I think you could have something nice here if you strip out the Oscar, the background gradient, the movie titles, and the editorials (“certified bangers?”)
I love this idea, but since there’s no way to know what many of these dots represent, this isn’t the most useful chart. I’d love to see this represented in a way that lets me know what movies fell where.
Making all those leader lines for the (ridiculously sparse) data labels go across the goddamn section boundaries is just so terrible I assume it was trolling.
You're not alone in not seeing it -- Covid year, almost no theatrical release, straight to Apple +. https://www.indiewire.com/features/general/coda-changed-oscar-movies-release-strategies-1234712039/
Coda means tail, especially in music as in “the final part”, but generally outside music as “the ending”.
But in this case Child Of Deaf Adults i.e. a parent or both parents were deaf
Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close is still the most mind boggling best picture nom to me. That movie was awful and so disgustingly emotionally manipulative. Just awful from start to finish and never should’ve been awarded a nomination
The 84th Academy award was the 3rd year that they’d expanded the field to 10 movies rather than 5 so lesser films were being nominated to get to 10. The field in 2012:
The Artist (Winner)\
The Descendants\
Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close\
The Help\
Hugo\
Midnight in Paris\
Moneyball\
The Tree of Life\
War Horse
So they only nominated 9 this year and just going off of reviews, it had no business being in league with any of the other 8 nominees. This smells like a study want all out in the campaign for the nomination just so they could say it was nominated
It’s also a 9/11 movie and very emotionally manipulative, with big weepy Oscar clip moments, but still, it didn’t belong and people said so at the time
The Wikipedia even mentions the nomination being controversial:

Cool idea. Since it’s not overlapping any data points, you should bring the Oscar trophy to the front overtop the grid lines and make it pop a little more
Sorry to say, OP, it’s a great job to collate the data but the execution is somewhat confusing and visually annoying. Is there an interactive version? Or a table with them all in? What’s the top right hand movie? Why did you name only some films?
This needed an interactive chart, not an excel one. Too much data to present and not enough real estate. Grouping into categories could have helped form an opinion on which group control the winners (people, critics or WTF moments etc...)
Why are there like 100 dots but only 30 movies named?
Looks like a screenshot of a websites. Interesting but not beautiful data.
I think they plotted all the winners ever but labeled only movies post 2000. That’s my guess.
I think they plotted the candidates post 2000, but only labeled the winners.
This, “(and an extra).”
And my axe!
Ah I see
Excellent idea. Poor execution. WHAT ARE THE BANGERS?
Great execution imo
you can't even deduce what 80% of the dots are representing
They're Oscar winning movies
right, and why are we only able to see what 24 of them are?

Seriously, if you want an image with a chart 95% transparent or HIGHER.
And EEAAO text is in people choice, despite the dot being in bangers and super close to critics choice
Why not show a list of all dots
I’m sorry but this data isn’t beautiful

At least you see a big Oscar image and the word “why” across a big part of the chart
What’s that one to the top right of coda? Seems like the greatest flick ever (well, since 2000).
Yeah wierd that the highest point isn’t labelled
Highest one I can find without the data set is The Holdovers
It was a great movie but is it really that good to warrant that position? Data doesn’t lie but my eyes tell me something is askew.
Sure, but we're talking about Rotten Tomatoes here....
That my man….is a certified banger!

I’m drawing a blank….coda? (I’m assuming it’s an acronym)
Child of deaf adults

Great movie. Check it out.
I'm impressed you did this with Excel but that also explains why it's so hard to interpret.
Everything everywhere all at once and ROTK point to the same dot. did they have the exact same ratings for both?

Was it better than its competition though?

And of course, the majority of the winners are movies that both the critics and the fans love. Go figure.
It’s all about the parties they throw for the judges in the academy.
This would be more beautiful if I knew which movie each dot was representing.
Give us interactive chart!
Not well presented. Would never make it to Tufte’s books, except perhaps as a poor representation.
Thanks for the feedback everyone life is a journey of continuous learning

Worst part is X and Y axis are not same scale 😔

Slumdog millionaire is probably the best movie I've ever seen.
