Living in a far distant corner of the world is a downer when it comes to Filmspots. It bugs me that I haven't been able to see Take Shelter.

I haven't seen Alamar, The Guard, The Interrupters, Summer Wars, The Trip or Warrior either.

How true. You wouldn't think of Germany as such a far distant corner of the world though, would you? Grrr. I'll be seeing Take Shelter on opening day, but now I am terribly afraid that it can't possibly live up to my high expectations.

If you have additional ideas for stats, let me know.

In Best Film, I'd be interested to know how many of the people who saw Take Shelter voted for it.
Same, please, for Best Documentary and Pina.

Thank you for all your hard work, pix!

Oh, and is anybody else surprised that Certified Copy did quite badly in the Best Non-English Language category after being a Best Film nominee?

Oops. My strategy next year - see few films, sweep Filmspots!

It's really exciting that Take Shelter won. I voted for The Tree of Life, but I think we're supercool for having Take Shelter as our figurehead for the next year.

It is surprising. I would have expected Certified Copy, Boonmee, or A Separation to take that category, but since there's so much overlapping support for those films, I guess the vote got split. A very strong field in that category this year, which I suppose made it unpredictable.

I'll give you a hint Keith...we are disproportionately white. CotR is our only hope.

I’d like to know the correlation between support for Drive and lone-parent male households with a 5 year unchanged mobility status, living in rented semi-detached housing requiring major repair. I think that's the key to understanding this whole thing.
