Is this the secret to spotting an Oscar winner?

On the surface, The Godfather, The Sixth Sense and Little Miss Sunshine appear to have little in common. But even though these films belong to different genres and have very different plots, technically they have the same "emotional arc" - a journey of highs and lows. Using artificial intelligence, we analysed more than 6,000 scripts from the past 80 years and discovered all films fall within six emotional arcs. These include the emotional rise of "rags to riches" films such as The Shawshank Redemption and the rise and fall of "man in a hole" films such as Who Framed Roger Rabbit. But which of these are the most successful, critically and commercially? Tragedies, which depict a continuing emotional fall, appear to receive the highest number of Oscar nominations per film.
