Jason Bateman - "known for" selections

Was looking at Jason Bateman's IMDB profile and - other than Arrested Development and Juno - wondered why the other shows/movies were highlighted as what he is known for and not Ozark.  He has 93 awards/nominations listed and it looks like about one quarter of them (I didn't do the actual math) and the most significant awards, like lead actor, are for Ozark.  I could make an argument for Horrible Bosses too as something he is more known for, but really, Ozark not being at the top makes no sense to me.

Hi @VaEagle,

Please refer to our Help article for information on how these titles are chosen through our weighting system.

I hope this helps!

Thank you for the info, which I reviewed and understand.  But now I don't understand how the algorithms could have weighed anything higher than Ozark, for which Bateman earned and/or shared 4 Emmy nominations; 3 Screen Actors Guild nominations; 3 Peoples Choice nominations; 2 Critics Choice nominations; 3 Directors Guild nominations, plus numerous others. (That alone would be an amazing career for most actors.)   

I'm not dying on the hill for this opinion: it just struck me as odd that Ozark was not at or near the top of the list of shows for which Jason Bateman is known.
