Thanks for voting everyone! I have to say...I'm pretty impressed by these results. I mean, Past Lives!!! Academy, take notes!

Retrospective Best Picture Voting for past Oscars would be awesome, especially years like 2017 that has a lot of great and popular films nominated

Definitely need to do this again next year!

You've got to hand it to Ryan! I honestly can't think of another KZfaqr that would go through this much trouble just for their subscribers!

YES DO IT AGAIN NEXT YEAR!

I love how my top 3 picks (Anatomy of a Fall, Poor Things and Oppenheimer, in that order) were the 3 finalists in the experiment. Just goes to show how good those 3 were. Looking forward to what happens tonight

Really cool to see the visualization of the process! I knew how the process worked, but I never pictured it taking that many rounds of eliminating the last place position to hit +50%. Thanks for doing this!

A Brazilian channel I'm a big fan of, called Dalenogare, held an award show on his channel with votes from members, and used the preferential method to award the best film. The scenario was quite similar to that of your video; Oppenheimer was the most voted in the first round but didn't win, but in the redistribution ended up winning in the last round against Poor Things. I think this is similar to what might happen at the Oscars. Great video, hope to see more in the coming years.

I'm one of the two people who put Barbie at number 1 and The Zone of Interest at number 2. Where's that soulmate of mine? Lmao

You're hilarious. Thanks for doing this. :)

Alright!! Thanks for posting this! I can’t wait for the Oscars!!

So you’ve cracked the code possibly! Can’t wait to see how it “stacks” next year! 🎉

Glad to see my top 2 are in the final round here and they also got the most nominations in reality! 👍

Guys, if we want to support Ryan doing this with our votes for the years to come, I think we should assemble ourselves as an...um, academy? The...Academy of Oscar Science? With Ryan as our President / CEO / Benevolent Dictator / Emperor of the Known Universe?😁

This was a lot of fun, def would love to see it again next year

This was such a great idea!!! Thank you!!

I sadly forgot to participate in the original event. If I had submitted my ballot, it would have been: 1. Killers Of The Flower Moon 2. Oppenheimer 3. The Holdovers 4. Anatomy Of A Fall 5. Maestro 6. Past Lives 7. American Fiction 8. The Zone Of Interest 9. Poor Things 10. Barbie

Please do this again next year!

I’m very happy I got to stay on team Poor Things until the very end. Oppenheimer was my 2nd choice anyways, and I always knew it was winning.

Thanks Ryan, that was fun, and my Poor Things did well.

How long has it been since the best picture winner (it's gonna be Oppenheimer and a massive box office hit) aligned with the popular vote from the audience? I think since "The Lord of the rings" 😮

loved that!! Next year again!

Past Lives strong 🔥🔥🔥

It would be curious to know if there is any correlation between the films people rated highest/lowest. Like, people who put Oppie at number 1 might have been, for example, consistently putting American Fiction at number two or three. So it got eliminated early despite having more high ratings than some other films, because they were never counted.

Shout out to my fellow American Fiction > Killers voter! This was awesome. Seeing Past Lives hang around that long was refreshing after all the Anatomy and Zone discourse I've been seeing. Surprised that Poor Things ended up second. Thanks, Ryan!

I'm one of the big chips. I call dibs on a big chip. I'm not one of you chiplets.

AMPAS needs to go back to 5 Best Picture nominees.

Do it again!

Glad to see my top 5 doing really well The Holdovers Past Lives Anatomy of a Fall Poor Things Oppenheimer

Congratulations Oppenheimer! I hope it wins for real!

Yay for my top 4 films being in the top-4. My fav was Past Lives, followed by Oppy, Poor Things, and Anatomy of a Fall. I love these ballots.

my top 3 were top 3! definitely better than the Oscar ballots

My top movie and my bottom movie made the final two 😂

You totally should have gone all Oppy and use marbles!

fun!

still rooting 4 anatomy of a fall

Man, I missed the vote? Lol

Ryan I enjoy your videos and your attitude and your presence in them. I'm sorry if I refered to you as cute in an earlier video. Especially since I found out you have a girlfriend. Even so that still doesn't change that you are cute. LOL! This is all in a good fun joshing.

This is what I would’ve voted for 1. Oppenheimer 2. Past Lives 3. The Holdovers 4. Zone of Interest 5. Anatomy of a Fall 6. Killers of the Flower Moon 7. Barbie 8. Poor Things 9. Maestro American Fiction (N/A)

Anatomy of "the" fall?
