The Oscars use a ranked ballot to select Best Picture. Let's see who Reddit would select using that voting system.

Many people don't understand how they vote for the "Best Picture" in the Oscars. Explanation if you don't already know... Oscar voting uses a preferential ballot system. In short, voters rank their favorites from 1-9. If a movie doesn't have over 50% of the vote, they throw out the movie with the lowest #1 votes, and the #2 choice on those ballots becomes 1st place votes. They keep doing this until a movie has over 50%. That's how you end up with "Green Book" winning. It can end up being the least-divisive film instead of the one that got the most true 1st place votes. Here’s an article explaining it.I'm curious who Reddit would select as the Best Picture Winner tonight. I figure we can do it like the actual Oscars and force voters to rank them 1-9 (winner needs over 50% of the vote).Here's a quick ranked poll I set up: https://rankit.vote/vote/1a8o3SQVzZAAZugFmPbcI’ll keep this poll open until mid-way through the show.Edit: Note when if you click "view results", you'll see the final results with one movie having over 50% of the vote. You'll see in the bottom right corner an option to click/tap and see the Round by Round results. For instance, you might see "The Irishman" in the lead with 26% in Round 1... but over the course of the next 3-4 rounds, another movie like "Little Women" might jump ahead. I'll keep this open until mid-way through the Oscars and edit with the final results via /r/movies https://ift.tt/2Hb8Re8
