With the recent Oscars I was thinking “One Battle After Another” is kind of long for a movie title. And “F1” is really short, maybe the shortest ever. So I compiled the data (F1 is not the shortest nominee title ever).
There are 621 Oscar Best Picture nominees, and of those there are 98 winners. Average title length for nominees is 14.9. Average title length for winners is 15.4.

To really get anything interesting from this you need to have the lengths off all movie titles as a control
