Oscar nominee · BAFTA Award nominee · 1 other major award body

Amy Pascal (born March 25, 1958) is an American film producer and business executive. She served as the chairperson of the Motion Pictures Group of Sony Pictures Entertainment (SPE) and co-chairperson of SPE, including Sony Pictures Television, from 2006 until 2015. She has overseen the production and distribution of many films and television programs and was co-chairperson during the 2014 Sony Pictures hack. The leak uncovered multiple emails from Pascal that were deemed racist, including racial jokes aimed at then-President Barack Obama. She left Sony, and Pascal later admitted that she was fired from the company. Pascal started her own production company, Pascal Pictures, which made its debut with the 2016 Ghostbusters reboot. In 2017, she produced Spider-Man: Homecoming, Molly's Game, and The Post. She has received two Academy Award nominations for Best Picture nominations for producing The Post and Little Women and a nomination for the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature for producing Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse.

Percentiles are each film's standing among all films on MovieCove; the typical film is the median, so one outlier cannot drag it. Percentiles and reviewer scores count the films IMDb credits them on, for now; the Midcredits score bands, the shape of the crowd and the two cards count their MovieCove titles, shows included (a show ranked among shows), appearances as themselves left out. A descriptor is the shape of a title's IMDb rating distribution against the catalog; "most divisive" needs a spread wider than half of all titles, and a card names only a principal credit: a craft role, and on a show a crew role or a run of episodes, never a courtesy credit or a one-off guest spot.
