So, in average, the number of nominations that a Best Picture winner which also stars a Best Actress winner is 7 nominations. The average number of wins is 4 wins.
The most number of nominations for a film in this list is Gone With The Wind, which had a record-breaking 13 nominations. Note that Shakespeare In Love also had 13 nominations, but a good amount of those were rigged. The lowest number of nominations is Annie Hall, which was nominated only for the Big 5 and nothing else.
The most number of wins is again, Gone With The Wind with 8 wins, followed by Shakespeare In Love with 7 and Mrs. Miniver with 6. Interesting to note is that all of the Big 5 winners won only the Big 5 and nothing else.
As for correlation with other acting categories, 4 out of these 14 movies also won Best Supporting Actress. 3 of them won Best Actor, and 3 of them won Best Supporting Actor.
As for my personal feelings, 14 is way too less of BP winners which also starred Best Actress winners. Of the top of my head, Fargo should've easily won Best Picture. I would gladly swap out Shakespeare In Love for Fargo. Also, Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind should've won BP and Actress the same year Million Dollar Baby did, but Million Dollar Baby is a firm second for me, so I'm not really salty on it. A Streetcar Named Desire and Network were also the best films of their year, but I understand that people may feel otherwise.
Note- Technically, Sunrise didn't win BP, but I'm counting it in anyways.

Note- Technically, Sunrise didn't win BP, but I'm counting it in anyways.

Just for fun. You no doubt know what they are but here is a refresher:

• It Happened One Night
  • Best Picture
  • Best Director: Frank Capra
  • Best Actor: Clark Gable
  • Best Actress: Claudette Colbert
  • Best Adapted Screenplay: Robert Riskin.
• One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest
  • Best Picture
  • Best Director: Miloš Forman
  • Best Actor: Jack Nicholson
  • Best Actress: Louise Fletcher
  • Best Adapted Screenplay: Lawrence Hauben & Bo Goldman
• The Silence of the Lambs
  • Best Picutre
  • Best Director: Jonathan Demme
  • Best Actor: Anthony Hopkins
  • Best Actress: Jodie Foster
  • Best Adapted Screenplay: Ted Tally

My own preference is for It Happened One Night. Probably the least well-known of the three these days on account of its age, and perhaps not as "cool" as The Silence of the Lambs, but I love the wittiness of the script and the interplay between Gable and Colbert.

Bio from The Festival Voice

Artist Biography by Daniel Karasek
Jon Batiste is a Grammy and Oscar award-winning jazz keyboardist, singer, and composer. He was born in 1986 in Metairie, Louisiana and grew up in a musical family. His uncles are the New Orleans legends Lionel Batiste and Harold Batiste. Jon graduated from the New Orleans Center for Creative Arts in 2004 alongside Trombone Shorty. The next year, Jon released his debut album Times in New Orleans and went to study at Juilliard in New York. During this time he started performing as a trio with bassist Phil Kuehn and drummer Joe Saylor. This trio was featured on his 2005 album Live in New York: At the Rubin Museum of Art. Jon added saxophonist Eddie Barbash to the group, birthing the ensemble Stay Human. This new group played impromptu outdoor concerts where they earned acclaim for their lively performances. In 2011, they released their debut EP followed by their 2013 debut album Social Music which topped the Billboard Jazz Chart. Later that year, Jon joined Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer Chad Smith and bassist Bill Laswell to record a film soundtrack for a film that never materialized. The soundtrack was released in 2014 as The Process. The next year, Stay Human became the house band for the CBS talk show The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. In 2015, the band released the Late Show EP which featured recordings from their house band performances and debuted at number three on the Jazz Albums Chart. In 2018, Jon released the album Hollywood Africans which peaked at number two on the Billboard Jazz Albums Chart and got a Grammy nomination for his rendition of “Saint James Infirmary.” His next Grammy nomination was for 2020’s Meditations Meditations which featured Cory Wong. Later that year Jon contributed songs to the Disney-Pixar film Soul and released a companion album Music from and Inspired by Soul. The movie Soul won a Golden Globe and Oscar for Best Original Score. In 2021, Jon released the album We Are featuring guests including Mavis Staples and Trombone Shorty. The album peaked at 25 on the Billboard 200, received 11 Grammy nominations, and took home the Grammy for Album of the Year. In total, he won five Grammy awards. In 2022, Jon left The Late Show to focus on his own music, which lead to the creation of his seventh album World Music Radio featuring artists including Jon Bellion, Lana Del Rey, and Kenny G. This album received four Grammy nominations including Album of the Year.

Hi! I'm interested in finding someone with similar reading tastes as me. I am a fast reader but don't necessarily have to be reading the exact same book at the exact same time as my buddy. Don't care where you live, don't care who you are. Just someone who has similar tastes as me so we can talk about the books and recommend each other other books we know we will enjoy! I included a reading history below and would love to even talk about any of the titles with random strangers. Some of them I absolutely loved, some of them I wouldn't recommend to anyone, some of them I would only recommend to certain people. I've added a ⭐ to my all-time favorite titles/authors.
Hope I can find someone!
