Sure, there’s one big thing all Academy Award champs share: They’re crazy talented.

But that’s not very helpful info when it comes to making educated guesses for your Oscar pool. Which begs the question: Are there signs and patterns to help game the system?

Armed with old-timey calculators, a landslide of photos and an arsenal of movie-geek knowledge, we took a closer look at the Best Actor and Best Actress winners from the past 10 years—examining everything from sartorial selections to date choices, personal hygiene to birth place to find out what common denominators rose to the top.

Here’s your statistical guide to predicting Oscar triumph.

Dress like the thing you want! Gold was the ticket for half the ladies from the past decade (with Kate Winslet,“TheReader,” opting for gunmetal in 2009).

Both cases were in 2008: Marion Cotillard and Daniel Day-Lewis (“There Will Be Blood”). He left the hoops home in 2013 (“Lincoln”), though.

Forty percent of Best Actresses and Best Actors won for playing characters with a career in the arts —music, acting, dance, writing.

That’s more than any other profession (including politicians and sex workers).

Since 2004, just one Best Actor or Best Actress winner has starred in a black-and-white film: Jean Dujardin for “The Artist” (2012).

It’s relevant this year for Bruce Dern, nominated for “Nebraska.”

For the past six years, the prizes have alternated each year between historical characters and made-up ones—this is true for both men and women, although the genders are on different cycles (so, when a woman wins for playing a historical character, a man wins for playing a fictional one—and vice versa).

Oscar-winning hairstyles parted down the middle between updos and glamorous flowing tresses. Natalie Portman covered her bases by pinning up one side of her hair and leaving the other loose; for this survey, she was counted in the “flowing” category.

Philip Seymour Hoffman was the lone four-eyed standout on the red carpet, in 2006.

A bountiful number of Best Actress champs took the plunge with deep V-necklines on Oscar night.

The Tom Ford tux seems ubiquitous, but the only champ to wear one recently is Colin Firth in 2011 (for “The King’s Speech”). But Domenico Vacca dressed both Forest Whitaker (“The Last King of Scotland,” 2007) and Daniel Day-Lewis.

The only Best Actor winners to grace the stage in recent years with facial hair were Jeff Bridges—who flaunted a bushy salt-and-pepper goatee for the 2010 ceremony—and Forest Whitaker, with a subtle’stache and chin trim in 2007.

The odds of winning a Best Actor or Best Actress Academy Award are slightly higher if it’s not your first Oscar rodeo.

Seventy-five percent of recent winners chose their spouses to be their plus-ones for the big night. Another 15 percent brought boyfriends or girlfriends, while Jennifer Lawrence (“Silver Linings Playbook,” 2013)was escorted by her parents and Jamie Foxx by his daughter.

Most recent Best Actress winners have leaned toward medium-to-light lip colors, while a few daring divas have shown up in look-at-me berry or fuchsia — like Sandra Bullock in 2010.

Hilary Swank (2005) surprised with a modest front and exposed back. Charlize Theron (“Monster,” 2004) and Marion Cotillard (“La VieEnRose,” 2008) also showed their backs.

The majority of guys kept it classic with a bowtie. Only Sean Penn (“Milk,”2009), Philip Seymour Hoffman (“Capote,” 2006) and Jamie Foxx (“Ray,” 2005) tied up wins the long way.

That’s the percentage of champs who attended college.

The lucky charm for leading ladies? Chopard jewelry. And 90 percent of Best Actress winners relied on diamonds: The lone maverick was Meryl Streep (“The Iron Lady,” 2012), who earned her gold wearing only gold.

While girlish full skirts —like Jennifer Lawrence’s Dior confection— have fared pretty well, they’re edged out bysexy, streamlined silhouettes such as columns and trumpets.

Where you were born doesn’t necessarily give you a leg up on the competition—unless you’re an All-American male.
