Had a huuuge knowledge gap when starting to tackle this project, but I went back and re-watched the video lectures on Monday and Wednesday, plus reading through this week's reading material. That helped me grok the basics, core functionality, how to structure the endpoint, some filtering functions, etc.

When writing the search endpoint I ran into an incredibly annoying issue with the data, where I tried to do an "includes()" on all of the ~1,000 "nominees" string entries. Turned out that one of the nominees entries was a number – the movie '1917' – which caused the filtering to break, and it took me too long to figure out why. Thanks, Sam Mendes.
