Conclusions The strongest correlation we found in the variables we tested was a positive correlation between running time and Oscar Winnings We showed that the common assertion that films with release dates closer to the awards ceremony are more likely to win is likely a myth Overall, our model can only account for 11% of the variability in Data. You cannot quantitatively measure how “good” a movie is.
