Summary

Description

This chart visualizes the age distribution of Best Actor and Best Actress Academy Award winners from 1928 (1º edition) to 2023 (96º edition). The golden area represents actresses, who are predominantly awarded between their 20s and 40s, while the red area depicts actors, who often win between their 40s and 60s. The chart highlights a clear gender age gap, showing how male actors enjoy longer careers in leading roles, while opportunities for actresses diminish as they age.
