Sure, but this is not about my issue. The thing is that this is what pops up in an internet search and in what amounts to click bait.

Yours is useful perspective, but didn't you anticipate some comments about race, if only because media needs to have so much content now compared to pre-1980. And based on the small sample size (I am an insurance underwriter, so excuse my reference to sampling) every group has an excellent chance to be disappointed almost any year.

Example: https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/movies/story/2023-01-24/oscar-nominations-2023-oscarssowhite-again-black-actors

Also - as a businessman we deal with performance evaluations which force ranking ones employees. The top performer's value is exaggerated and the one at the bottom negatively so. In fact the differences in a typical group of 10 employees usually small - that is each produces about the same (most seasoned employees CAN do the job ).

Imagine a similar matter among seasoned actors. Those who did not get nominated likely did as good a job as the ones nominated. So they no doubt will mutter to their friends, and reporters they know. The mutterings are already being reported (as in the LA Times piece)/
