Months following the news there will now be ten nominees for Oscar's Best Picture award, new details have emerged about how the voting will happen.
Previously, the winner was determined by a simple mass vote: the picture with the most votes won the race. But now, according to EW's Dave Karger, the system will take on some subtleties, and it may benefit The Little Film That Could.
Here's how it will work: voters will now rank their vote for the best movie from one to ten, with their "favorite" ranked first. The film with the least votes will automatically be eliminated, and the voters who voted for that lowly film will have their second choice moved up to their first choice. This process will continue until a winner emerges.
Would it could mean, Karger notes, is that the ultimate winner may not have gotten the largest batch of #1 votes in the first round. But, this seems better than having a winner declared with only 11% of the vote, which theoretically could happen.
Whatever happens, it'll be an adventure.
