Start with a guide to the voting or selection process, explore the forecast, or open a studio to make your own picks. My NCAA bracket is a personal forecast. The Hall of Fame and Oscars forecasts come from statistical models.
Twelve committee members pick and seed 76 teams over a week of closed sessions, for the men's and the women's tournaments.
I compare team résumés to predict the field and seed list. You can see my bracket beside the published metrics and compare it with one you build in the studio.
Twenty-five selectors cut a long nomination list down to a finalist slate, and a finalist needs 80 percent of the room to get in.
The HoFW model compares players with Hall members at the same position. A separate forecast estimates eventual induction and simulates the queue for each class. A strong career can still face a long wait.
About 10,000 Academy members vote, branch by branch for nominations and all together for the winners, on ballots nobody outside ever sees.
The model uses the evidence available at each stage of the season, from film and festival history to guild results. Its historical tests leave out the ceremony being predicted.
Compare men's or women's team sheets side by side and place teams on your seed list. The available metrics change with the season.
Run the committee's cuts yourself, from the eligible pool to semifinalists, finalists and your class. You can change the model's weights and watch the rankings move.
Pick nominees across eight categories, then winners once nominations are announced. Compare your ballot with the model's choices.
