Its looking like I was.

The points system I used gave 14 points for the #1 spot, 13 for #2, and so on. So 10 ballots for 103 points is a 10.3 average. Compared to 98 points on 8 ballots for CHILDREN and UNITED (12.25 average) or 52 points on 4 ballots for THE PRESTIGE (13 average).<BR/><BR/>And you should be too surprised about INLAND EMPIRE, since it hasn't been released in much of the US yet.Paul C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02699493473242261477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9688582.post-7976446881205976442007-02-21T13:28:00.000-05:002007-02-21T13:28:00.000-05:00I figured that every voter would probably put it s...I figured that every voter would probably put it somewhere around the number five slot, but apparently it was more beloved than I had originally thought.<BR/><BR/>And from the tally, it appears I was the only person who voted for Babel at all! I'm reminded of how Crash had its rabid fans and relentless detractors. <BR/><BR/>Another surprise: only one vote for Little Miss Sunshine. Ditto Inland Empire. I'd like to see how the ballots read for this category!Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08310290563393412068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9688582.post-4540243393013632992007-02-20T10:08:00.000-05:002007-02-20T10:08:00.000-05:00Funny you should mention that e-Mail.

Since it wasn't his fault that it arrived late, I counted his votes, which tipped the balance THE DEPARTED's way. Although if you look at the points you'll notice that it was more or less a three-horse race to the end.Paul C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02699493473242261477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9688582.post-5714665988429721782007-02-20T10:03:00.000-05:002007-02-20T10:03:00.000-05:00It has been fun to watch what times I was lock-ste...It has been fun to watch what times I was lock-step with the rest of the group and which times I was wayyyy out there. Pretty surprised by a The Departed win considering the tie-breaker email.Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08310290563393412068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9688582.post-21278320509521917192007-02-19T22:17:00.000-05:002007-02-19T22:17:00.000-05:00Thanks, Paul and Steve.
