To examine how an actor's position within collaborative film networks and the status of their coworkers shape artistic recognition and Academy Award nominations.
Analyzed top-10 credited acting roles from theatrical films released between 1936 and 2005.
Constructed professional co-working networks to calculate asymmetric centrality as a metric of status and star power while controlling for individual career histories and film attributes.
Asymmetric centrality in screen credit networks significantly mediated the relationship between professional experience and receiving an Academy Award nomination.
Actors working alongside elite collaborators had substantially higher likelihoods of formal artistic consecration, indicating cumulative advantages from team spillovers.
