Inglourious Basterds wins Reader Poll for Best Pic

Vote Tallies at a glance. We’ll have more explanation when the Best Picture results are posted in a few minutes. For now, congratulations to all the winners, and deepest thanks to Rob Y who made this project feasible and fun.

These 1347 ballots yield results that are probably of greatest interest to the 1347 readers who voted. How close or how far these numbers will align with the tallies taken this weekend, only the accountants at Pricewaterhouse-Cooper can ever say for sure. If this project had been intended as a prediction tool, we might have a lot to be excited or disappointed about. But that’s not its purpose at all. This ballot’s relevance to actual Oscar reality remains to be seen, but relevance was never the point. Its value is meant to be measured in terms of whatever enjoyment you’ve derived from it. On that note, the envelopes please…
