How Did Spotlight Win Best Picture?
1 2 3Philip
SAG ensemble. The Revenant was a shame "frontrunner", it was never winning the whole thing.

How Impactful Is The Preferential Ballot At The Oscars When It Comes Down To It?

Eddy QI agree.
Joe BurnsWhat's it going to take to get rid of the preferential ballot? I think it needs to be done away with as the winner take all system is used everywhere else. It should just be a consensus on who wins for everything and that's it.
