It seems like Best Actor films tend to do better at the box office than Best Actress films. Sexism?

Male-led movies do better at the box office, the same way they always do better at award shows (this year is a painful example of this since no Best Actress movie landed in Best Picture)

It’s hard to pick one each year, but I’m sure there won’t be Leo, Malek and Phoenix for the role they won an Oscar for.
