Oscars: Acting Winners $($The Sequel$)$

The Academy Awards, popularly known as the Oscars, are the most prestigious film awards in the United States. They have been going since $1929$ and are the awards that likely everyone in the movic business wants to win. The annual ceremony for the Oscars is probably the most$-$watched awards ceremony in the world. Every year, an actor and an actress are chosen for the Best Actor and the Best Actress awards. Related to these "Lead" categories are "Supporting" categories. In this assignment, we will use some basic statistical tools available in R to explore the dataset including the information about the winners for all four acting awards from the $1^{st}$ to the ${96}^{th}$ Oscars.

Although there have been $96$ Oscar ceremonies between $1929$ and $2024,$ there are $97$ Best Actor winners and $97$ Best Actress winners because a tic occurred on two occasions $(1933$ for Best Actor and $1969$ for Best Actress$).$ The Oscars for the Supporting categories did not exist until the $9^{th}$ Oscars, so there are only $88$ winners each.

This dataset is available in the Data link located in the Lab $1$ tab display in the Labs section on eClass. Please import the data into $R.$ The data are not to be printed in your submission.
