Recent Additions

• Per-year JSON assets for historical ceremonies (assets/oscars_.json). Newly added: 1929, 1930, 1931, 1932, 2023, 2024, 2025, 2026.
• Asset metadata fields: date, ceremonyNumber, and imdbEventUrl to provide canonical ceremony info and links.
• Automated IMDb ID resolver: tools/fetch_imdb_ids.py --year <YEAR> populates imdbIds in assets and writes a .imdb.bak backup.
• displayNominations entries now include credited names and movie associations for many categories (e.g., Music (Original Song), Production Design).
• Placeholders are added for titles the resolver couldn't match; you can paste tt ids directly into assets/oscars_<year>.json.
• UI: year selector now displays the year; the app reads per-year metadata from assets to show ceremony details where needed.
