Some stats, as mentioned in the chat:

— Amy Adams is now 1-for-5 in the Filmspots. She was previously nominated for Enchanted (losing Best Actress but winning Most Suprising Performance) and The Master.

— This is Emmanuel Lubezki's second Filmspot award. He won two years ago for The Tree of Life.

— This is James Franco's second win in four nominations. He previously won Best Actor for 127 Hours.

— The only category in which all fifty voters cast a vote was Best Sound.

— Three different nominees received zero votes this year: one in Best Sound (Pacific Rim) and two in Best Visual Effects (Oblivion and Star Trek Into Darkness), where Pacific Rim was just a single vote away from a double shutout. In the previous six years of the Filmspots, only two nominees total had received zero votes: Kung Fu Panda (Best Animated Film, 2008) and Kung Fu Panda 2 (Best Animated Film, 2011).

— Gravity's win for Visual Effects represents (by far) the highest percentage of the vote any nominee has ever received. Here's the complete list of nominees to earn more than 60% of the vote:
  • Gravity (Visual Effects, 2013) — 87.8%
  • Anton Chigurh, No Country for Old Men (Villain, 2007) — 67.5%
  • Inside Llewyn Davis (Soundtrack, 2013) — 65.5%
  • Javier Barden, No Country for Old Men (Supporting Actor, 2007) — 63.9%
  • Emmanuel Lubezki, The Tree of Life (Cinematography, 2011) — 63.0%
  • Heath Ledger, The Dark Knight (Supporting Actor, 200 — 62.0%
— 43 people voted in the Documentary category. 10 of them saw At Berkeley. 5 of them thought it was better than everything else they saw. (By comparison, 39 voters saw The Act of Killing, and 19 of them voted for it. 3 of those voters had seen none of the other nominees.)

— 39 people voted in the Non-English Language Film category. 21 saw Like Someone in Love, 22 saw Drug War, 25 saw Blue Is the Warmest Color, 25 saw Only God Forgives, and 26 saw The Hunt.

— The screenplay win for Her was the second writing nomination for Spike Jonze, who was nominated alongside Dave Eggers for Where the Wild Things Are in 2009. In the Loop won that award.

— With just 30 votes, Animated Film was category with the smallest voter participation. Of those thirty voters, 10 saw Wolf Children, 15 saw From Up on Poppy Hill, 18 saw Despicable Me 2, 22 saw Monsters University, and 23 saw Frozen.

— Wolf Children received 6 votes from 10 viewers (60.0%), while Frozen received 14 votes from 23 viewers (60.9%), just one of whom had seen none of the other nominees. This is one of the few categories affected by weighted voting this year. I'll post the complete list later.

— Two films were nominated for three individual performances each: 12 Years a Slave and Her. The former won Best Ensemble Cast, while the latter wasn't even nominated.

— The neck-and-neck finishers in the Best Actor race had each been nominated once previously: Leonardo DiCaprio for Django Unchained in 2012; and Chiwetel Ejiofor for Redbelt in 2008.

— 12 Years a Slave becomes just the second Oscar-winner for Best Picture to go on to win the Filmspot; the first was No Country for Old Men, back in the first year of the Filmspots (2007). Likewise, Lupita Nyong'o is just the second Oscar-winner for Best Supporting Actress to win the Filmspot as well; the other was Mo'Nique for Precious in 2009.

Success Rates

I calculate success rates by taking the total number of winners that each person had seen before voting and dividing that by the number of winners they actually voted for. For example, if you voted in 24 categories, had seen 21 of those eventual winners before voting, and had 7 of your picks go on to win, your success rate was 33% (7/21).

In five years of voting I have never finished above average in success rate, though this year was my highest success rate ever (second being my first year, 2009). I was on the losing side of two of the five narrowest margins, so if those had ended up right I'd have gone above average and 50%.

I like Wiseman films a lot but still think he's the worst thing to ever happen to the Filmspot process.

Categories Affected by the Weighting of Votes
     Animated Film - Frozen would have edged out Wolf Children based on a straight-up percentage (60.9% vs. 60.0%)
     Art Direction - Her would have beaten The Grandmaster (44.2% vs. 40.0%)

Act of Killing got 19 votes, At Berkeley got 5... but the Doc category wasn't affected by weighting? How does that work?

I wonder too. I feel At Berkley won because I didn't see it. I didn't see it because it would be a miracle for me to like it more than Act of Killing and Blackfish.

This just makes me want to see next year that I watched all the films.
