I don't know, I kinda like it when Zodiac and TWBB end up ahead of Juno and Ratatouille beats Persepolis for Animated Film. You were on to something, pixote.
The alternative voting method is definitely better at ordering the runner-up finishers in order of preference, but we're only really concerned with winners here, so I don't think that should be too much of a consideration. As for Ratatouille vs. Persepolis, it's a neck-and-neck matchup in any system, and one more vote could have reversed the winner in either system. It's a coin flip either way, so I don't feel that one result is necessarily more reflective of popular opinion than the other result. Just different. Given that, I think the simplicity of just picking winners still wins out.

Zodiac and
TWBB are better than
Juno (again)
