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, 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).

Categories Affected by the Weighting of Votes

Just two this year:

Best Actress

Without weighting, Portman would have beat Kim 29.0% to 28.5%. Portman votes were worth, on average, 0.75 apiece, while Kim votes were worth 0.81. Interestingly, votes for the other three nominees were all worth more: 0.93 for Williams, 0.84 for Lawrence, and 0.82 for Steinfeld.

One voter for Portman had seen none of the other nominees. Four voters for Portman had seen only one other nominee (and in none of those cases was Kim that nominee).

One voter for Kim had seen just one other nominee. Two her voters had seen just two others. The rest had seen at least three.

Of the 37 voters who'd seen both Portman's and Kim's performances, 12 voted for Kim, 9 voted for Portman, 7 voted for Steinfeld, 5 voted for Williams, and 4 voted for Lawrence.

Best Cinematography

Without weighting, Black Swan would have beaten Never Let Me Go 34.2% to 30.7%. But, with weighting, Black Swan's votes were worth an average of 0.85 votes to Never Let Me Go's 0.95. (Inception's lone vote was worth a full 1.00, for the record.)

All but two voters for Never Let Me Go saw the full slate of nominees. About half of Black Swan's voters had seen just four of the nominees.

Of the 34 voters who'd seen both films, 12 voted for Never Let Me Go, 9 voted for Black Swan, 8 voted for Shutter Island, 4 voted for True Grit, and 1 voted for Inception.

Thanks for all your efforts pix.  Sterling work.  :)

The Illusionist nearly pipped Toy Story 3.  So close...

Very happy for Kim Hye-ja, Dogtooth getting best original screenplay, Four Lions, Scott Pilgrim and The Social Network in general.

Shame about The Illusionist missing out (I liked Mary and Max, and The Secret of Kells more than Toy Story 3), Niels Astrup and A Prophet not picking up anything, and I really hope that one day Roger Deakins wins something.

Interesting to see some of these winners. Sad about the lack of Agnes love, but will survive. I kinda wanna let Jacki Weaver know that we voted for her (well, not we, I didn't), but I suspect she wouldn't really understand why it's such a deal.
(Inception's lone vote was worth a full 1.00, for the record.)
Froham!
All but two voters for Never Let Me Go saw the full slate of nominees.
That's me! I'd only seen three.

PART I: Which of the nominated films have you NOT yet seen?  (Delete the ones you have seen from the list below.)

Some comments are in order.

Most of them for me were a no-brainer, but some were more tricky.

For Best Ensemble I was wrestling between Inception, The Social Network and True Grit. Ultimately I chose True Grit because those three leads are all amazing. Damon in particular gives an awesome performance. But then there are also all the side characters who are all just perfectly cast.

Best Score was a big fight between Inception and The Social Network. Both are extremely integral to their respective films and both are unique, memorable, propulsive and just sound damn great. But I went with The Social Network in the end because I feel like that score defines that film in a really special way. I think that Inception could have had Zimmer cloning his Dark Knight score and the movie would have been just as good, but on repeat viewings I really feel like The Social Network would be a lesser film without the Reznor/Ross score.

Best Soundtrack was a fight between Scott Pilgrim and Shutter Island, and while I suppose Scott Pilgrim has all those cool original songs, damn, that music in Shutter Island was good. And I might have even just given it the win for this remix of music and Dinah Washington song during the credits:
Dinah Washington & Max Richter-This bitter earth - On the nature of daylight

Cinematography wasn't so much a fight as an emotional hurdle. Sorry, Chris, you know I love Never Let Me Go to death, and you know I love that cinematography, but when it comes right down to it I thought Shutter Island was the best looking film of the year.

Surprise was not a fight at all, but really none of those films on the list came as a surprise at all other than How to Train Your Dragon. I thought the Dreamworks picture would be mediocre to bad, and I ended up totally digging that boy/dragon relationship. The other films all either looked good, had reasons for me to think they'd be good, or had been reviewed very positively well before they were released here.

Best Scene(s): Where was Harry Potter Dance Scene? Oh well.

Best Shot, well, I'm not sure which shot exactly was being referred to for Inception, but that final shot of Mother was just so, ah, so, damn. Awesome.



The Tally:

Inception - 5
Toy Story 3 - 4
Mother - 3
The Social Network - 2
Animal Kingdom - 1
Black Swan - 1
Exit Through the Gift Shop - 1
How to Train Your Dragon - 1
The King's Speech - 1
MacGruber - 1
True Grit - 1

Thanks for putting this together, pix!

Not so happy about you releasing the fact that I'm now the new hipster of the boards. Wanted to keep that under wraps for a while.  :P

Also, The Illusionist by .3%? That hurts, man.

I was surprised I was as low as I was. Last year I was above average. But I won't take it to mean much when smaller things like Jacki Weaver, John Hawkes, and the chick from Mother all won when I probably picked something more mainstream. Plus I didn't vote for Scotty.

Contrary to what my low scores seem to indicate, I am really happy with the results for the most part. The Social Network was probably my favorite Hollywood movie from last year. I voted for Jesse Eisenberg for Best Actor but was really torn between him and Franco.

Things that made me REALLY happy:
Dogtooth winning Best Original Screenplay
Kim Hye-ja winning Best Actress
Mother winning Best Foreign Film

I was probably most disappointed that neither La Danse nor The Beaches of Agnes ended up winning Best Doc. That being said, I love the fact that both of them ended up getting nominated and watched by so many filmspotters.

I should probably watch Scott Pilgrim.
