Hit the button and get a random Academy Award category from a random year. A simple app for when Blank Check gets around to doing a spreadsheet episode.
Blank Check co-host David Sims revealed he has a spreadsheet of what would have been his Academy Award nominations, for most categories, for most of the Oscars' history. They've discussed doing an episode diving into "the spreadsheet" for a few years.
During the January 2022 mailbag episode, Griffin asked someone to make a tool for picking random Oscar categories, to suggest parts of the spreadsheet to look at.
I am a web developer with too much time on my hands, so I made a tool to do that. I am also the guy who made the Bruce Willis random movie title generator after Griffin joked about it on the Glass episode (Feel like there's a trend?).
AFAIK there is no great API for Academy Awards (though you can search them on the Academy's website). The data I found is mostly complete, maybe minus some people in Song and Score.
The categories have also changed over the years, so not every year has every category.
