Methodology

1. PA Casino set out to find the most successful actors and actresses without an Oscar nomination.

2. A seed list of forty A-List actors and actresses was compiled from a variety of online resources, including https://screenrant.com and https://www.ranker.com.

3. The average rating was determined by mining IMDb data from each movie’s ratings. After that, it was repeated for each actor. e.g., where Benedict Cumberbatch got his movie ratings http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1212722

4. The top 15 ratings were used for the working dataset, and the actor with the highest average film-rating was dubbed the “most successful actor to not win an Oscar.” After that, all ratings were ranked in descending order.

5. This information was gathered on March 1, 23 and is current.
