Are you going to DEBATE me on this??

My mom should know better than to try and start an argument with me, especially when she knows how much I love DATA.  So when she says something like, "Ya know, I bet more than half of the Best Actress nominees have been prostitutes.  The Academy loves prostitutes," she should know that I see that as a Challenge.

So, when she DID say that, I did the only thing I could thing of (because she loves data too, so simply telling her wasn't going to solve anything): I looked up the occupation of every Best Actress nominee since 1970 and made a spreadsheet.  Then I made a bar graph so that she could easily understand what was happening when I took her theory out.

Oh and just FYI: the number of prostitutes totals 4.0404% of the total number of women nominated.
