My favorite chart is the one about best picture nominees vs. IMDB ratings. I'm fascinated by how popular and elite tastes diverge at certain moments in time. I don't think award shows should reflect popular tastes in toto, but there should be some synergy. I think we got something approximating this with Oppenheimer winning best picture.
I expected a lot more recency bias in this analysis, especially as far as IMDB is concerned. In my anecdotal view, some newer films rank high and fall fast once the shine comes off.
