Not to question your choice, but I have always found their database to be confusing and impossible to search for anything in detail.

I have no doubt they have barrels of useful information, but I find accessing it is nearly impossible.

For instance, it should be a triviality to find all films with, say, a nomination for Best Supporting Actor and also Best Supporting Actress. The design of the search page makes it seem like this is doable. However, the results generated (if anything even comes up, it often arbitrarily does not work) are not what I am asking for (a basic example like this one can easily be checked as it is common knowledge).

What I wouldn't do to get all the information in, say, an R file. THAT would be useful beyond words.
