Can you really beat a simple Machine Learning model? Well, nobody said it was easy!

The 94th Academy Awards honoring movies released in 2021 will take place on Sunday, March 27, 2022. This year we would like to make our annual ritual in predicting the Oscar winners via Machine Learning even more exciting by inviting all of you to actively take part in this fun challenge.
 

 

This dataset is prepared to predict the following 20 categories. Feel free to predict all of them, any of them, or just one, it's up to you!

 

The following three datasets are work-in-progress datasets with the information available up until now. In the coming days, some more movie industry awards will be handed out that could also be useful when making the Oscar predictions. The last event will take place on March 20, so we will share the complete dataset on March 21. Feel free to use these datasets or other data sources, that is your choice:

 

The deadline to submit your predictions is March 23 at the end of your business day. You can submit your results by sending an email to support@bigml.com or simply by replying to this email.

You can submit a maximum of two picks per category in case you are using different approaches, e.g., ML model-based prediction versus your intuition. Please stick to the following format when submitting:

We want the world to know how good your predictions are so we will present the best performing predictors on BigML's social media channels as well as on BigML's blog. Additionally, we might also invite you to present your solution to one of our Machine Learning Schools!
