Fantastic Mr Fox? Why?
I actually consider a lot of movies to be life-changing! I take them to my heart and they melt into my personality.

Success Rates

I calculated 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, I voted in 24 categories, had seen 21 of the eventual winners before voting, and had 7 of my picks go on to win, so my success rate was 33% (7/21).

*raises foam finger* I'm almost average, I'm almost average.

Kind of surprised how high Clovis' score is considering IB's struggles. Apparently there were 10 categories he couldn't vote IB in.

I have nothing to say except that I hate you all. I guess this is revenge for what I did last year. I accept that punishment.

What did you do last year?

I can only conclude that whether you watch all the movies in a category or not really matters in terms of how much your vote counts.

Yeah.  I may have to overcome my squeamishness about sources for movie viewing other than theatrical releases and officially sanctioned DVDs.  IYKWIMAITYD.
