The annus mirabilis is predictable. The total number of acting jobs, ξ(κ), averaged over all a actors and b actresses, is reported as a function of the number of years κ after or before the annus mirabilis. Only actors and actresses with a career lasting more than L = 20 years and annus mirabilis with w > 5 acting jobs have been selected. In both cases, we observe a clear non-monotonic pattern, indicating that the annus mirabilis is either approaching or has just passed. For comparison, we report in red the results obtained for a null model where the profile sequences of all actors and actresses have been shuffled. No pattern emerges in that case
