oscar tabulational stuff



the new yorker has a pretty decent if brief run down of some oscar hustle and bustle in their latest issue, but the real neat part of hendrik hertzberg's talk of the town article is the differences in the way that the votes are tabulated.

we're all aware that the best picture category got expanded from 5 to 10 (all the better to include the blind side!), but did you know that this year people are ranking their votes hierarchically, as opposed to the previous method of simply marking only their choice for best picture?

read the article and adjust your oscar pool decisions accordingly.
