Box Office History (Week 51, 2024)
Every week, we’ll take a look back at how Oscar-nominated films performed at the box office. Due to the lack of data prior to 1980, some of these early years may have minimal information. From the mid-1990s back to 1980, the data exists, but is sometimes spotty. Everything after that should be accurate. We’ll look…

5th Make-Up Artists Guild Nominations
Another early announcer I missed and this one makes an interesting case of what the guild likes that the Academy’s members didn’t. The Apprentice, Dune: Part Two, and Waltzing with Brando didn’t make the cut with the guild while top nominees The Deliverance and The Substance were skunked by the Academy. Nominations Tallies (3) Beetlejuice…
