Exciting! I'm sure you'll tell us which films these are as soon as you've revealed the whole top 20, won't you?!?

I'm not sure of the exact plan but I would caution to say that we are not planning on releasing information that would suggest a ranking within the top 20 or second 30 pools. Saying the two that missed the top 20 due to negative votes would naturally suggest their place higher in the secondary set.

Yep - exactly.

Also, you may have mentioned this already but can you share stats on the number of people who sent in a ballot (as opposed to total number of votes)?
ferris posted the full list of people who sent in ballots here. By my count, that's 57 of us :)

Ah, I see, it would spoil the whole idea of listing them unranked...

Thanks! I totally missed that post. It's so nice to see that so many people sent in ballots. Yay to faceboy for sending in one even when he's not around. Otoh, not seeing Thor's name on that list makes me sad :-\.

I see that Holly Harry and skjerva didn't participate as well.  Would've been nice to know that I'm not the only one who had The Best of Youth and The Man Without a Past somewhere on the ballot.

As a negative vote, right?  Or am I misremembering?
