William Briggs and John Briggs examine the differences between movies that have won Best Picture and those that were top at the Box Office, based on money, gender, age, and genre. “There was only one Oscar winning movie with a leading actress older than 50: Jessica Tandy in Driving Miss Daisy. Eight women were at least 40 in Oscar winning movies, e.g. Myrna Loy, Bette Davis, Sandra Bullock. However, half of these were just 40 or 41.”
