Can you format the charts so that they can be easily printed. When I print on my imac, most of the info on the right and left is cut off. Last year the charts printed easily. Thanks.
Zooming does not help.
WELL!!!!!! MAJOR UPDATE!
I have spent about 8 hours trying to figure out the Ann Dowd situation. And I uncovered a larger issue. A number of you have been puzzled about favorite actresses not showing up in either Best Actress lists. Ann Dowd is the best example. Earlier I had indicated that only 4 votes went for Ms. Dowd. Well I was wrong there, in a BIG WAY.
Ms. Dowd earned 48 first round votes. As I was researching what has happened, it appears that some data did not get switched over from when I worked on the Actors, at least Microsoft Excel did not transfer them properly. Excel was looking for certain codes and not finding them.
They have been replaced. The spreadsheets have been updated. And yes, Ann Dowd achieved her top 5, thus kicking Nicole Kidman out of a nomination. And, Mirren is on the list for Actress. Juno Temple had 18 votes, but not one was a first choice.
Here are the two updated URLs:

I am sooooooo sorry for the confusion.

Wonderful to see Denis Lavant make the cut, but I’m equally horrified at the Life of Pi snub. Did people not see the film? It’s stunning!
As ZDT isn’t released widely, I am very interested how it got its second place here. Maybe each one of you has seen it. Even here we have “herd voting” and at the same time we blame AMPAS for being influenced easily. I doubt that more than 50% of the ZDT votes are form people taht haven’t seen the movie (they think Bigelow is cool and Chastain deserves to be nominated – probably from the “screaming scene” that was on Youtube. At the same time almost all of us love Life of Pi and it still missed.
If Life of Pi misses tomorrow, this thing is gonna look BRILLIANT.
I think the greatest use you could get out of these results is when the Oscar noms are announced, you can say, “See! Even you bastards voted for the pretty much the same things. Quit your incessant bitching!”
Bryce – Although I don’t think a Hooper nom is extremely likely, I have to think that if you were actually as close to Tom Hooper as you imply that you are, you would know his first name.
You guys do this every year. You predict instead of doing your own thing. 😛
Anyhoo, I think it’s mostly the lurkers and not the commenters. Because you guys were bananas for LIFE OF PI and it didn’t make it.
I was completely wrong about ARGO, ZERO DARK THIRTY, and LINCOLN having to share from the same pool of voters. Clearly there are just more of the kind of people who like that stuff.
Can’t really say who go in instead of Hooper, but rest assured he’s one of the worthy ones. Tim Hooper calls himself an “epic filmmaker”; publicly and privately
@Akumax
LES MIZ police?
No prediction for Ann Down?
Some ones are going to get so upset here….
I’m pretty surprised by the “whitebread” results, guys – did we need a vote to see how much we resemble AMPAS? They may actually have a better list, come tomorrow.
– and here’s no way everyone had seen Zero Dark Thirty at the time of the balloting, but, whatever. I voted for what I saw and live happily in the purple on the charts.
“Bryce Forestieri
Yo Tim Hooper reacted like a “mad dog” when he was informed earlier today that his name will not be mentioned tomorrow. Several “important” people just short of promised him that he was in.”
can you please use your imagination in another way, less silly and more funny?

I don’t think it’s right to vote for it if you haven’t seen it. You might not love it as much as you think you will. I think ZDT looks fantastic (same for Silver Linings Playbook), but I haven’t been able to see them yet so I didn’t pick them. I went with the movies I have seen.
Well, maybe some people voted for ZDT, maybe most didn’t see it yet. Who knows?
But when every one does see ZDT I suspect it will win.
@Danemychal you are absolutely right…it was your ballot and you had every right to vote for whatever you wanted. What some of us are pointing out is that you must have not been the only person to vote for films you did not watch. Hey it’s cool, I’m sure that’s the way many of the Academy members do business as well.
This is about the 3rd…or 4th…I can’t remember – year that we do this and I get more disappointed about some of our choices than the Academy’s. Mostly because I feel we’re smarter than the academy and we are real cinephiles but then we go ahead and vote just like them…
Hey paddy mullholland all I was trying to do was point out how good the movie and her performance was every year hurt are great performances that are giving that don’t get seened or don’t get enough attention
I’ve seen 3 Masterpieces in 2012: Zero Dark Thirty, Life of Pi and Amour.
Why these links?
It doesn’t goes well…
Hey paddy mullholland I don’t have a boner for juno temple I thought she gave a good performance and deserved some consideration did u even see the movie?
Hey david leary I was joking good to know you got it no I didn’t see the movie but I plan to I likes your punctuation kthxbye!!!!!!11!!!1!
@andrew
lol!
Bryce, what corroboration? the nominations are kept under strict lock and key
Bryce – I don’t need whatever inside information you may possess to know that Tim Hooper, whoever he is, will not be among the nominees tomorrow.
Hey paddy mullholland I don’t have a boner for juno temple I thought she gave a good performance and deserved some consideration did u even see the movie?
JUST CORROBORATED you guys, Tim Hooper will not be nominated for Best Director tomorrow morning. Phew!!
Please explain to me if this is legit or if you guys are making the assumptions this it what’s going to happen.
Holy crap, Denis Lavant got nominated for Holy Motors!
He’s my top NGNG for this year, now if he could just make it to the actual nominations…

@daveylow
consider yourself lucky there are 8 films on the bp list i wouldn’t have voted for. and I guess the 2 I did vote for might be the ones you’re talking abt.
I didn’t get to vote but there are two films on the best picture list I would never have voted for.
Fucking hell, just four ballots mentioning Ann Dowd? I put her on my ballot for Leading Actress, although not in first. Shiiiiit.
Supporting Actor is a massive cock-up. DiCaprio in third, Waltz in sixth? De Niro? Miller? Not up for that rly. Also BOO HISS Bradley Cooper. Awards Daily readers have such shit collective taste. Hear hear, Tero. The Life of Pi miss is a disgrace. The fanboys are beating it down. Can’t wait for AMPAS to show us all up big style.
I’m shocked no juno temple she didn’t even make the list for best actress I voted for her
Your Juno Temple boner is ruling your brain boyo.
I know everyone is trying to explain it away with the excuse that people tried to vote like the Academy would, but I think the real lesson of the lack of out-of-the-box picks is that if you get enough disparate opinions together, the nominees will look more and more like those of the Academy.
To me, the biggest surprise is seeing The Life of Pi without a BP nomination.
I suspect ‘The Master’ is this year’s ‘Drive’, at least when it comes to AD consensus.
Boring…I expected more original picks rather than going with conventional award show wisdom.
Tomorrow these people will be Oscar nominees…
http://m.youtube.com/watch?feature=relmfu&v=l1O3egLvebs#
ALL OF THEM!!! well, three of them already are but tomorrow they’ll have one more nomination. One more day! One more nom! One day more!
^ No one cares that you don’t understand.
I will never understand the unrelenting praise for Perks of Being a Wallflower.
It was a fly-by-night coming of age story that followed every rule in the book. Lerman’s performance was serviceable – not spectacular, and Watson can’t handle more than a line of dialogue.
Did Bill Murray make the list for best actor I didn’t see him on their. Alfredo I only voted for what I saw that’s why I voted for juno temple for best actress for little birds Colin Farrell for seven psychopaths and Liam neesom for the grey. I voted for Kay panabaker for supporting actress for little birds as well as others
Screw you guys; it was my ballot, so I voted for it if I wanted to vote for it. ZDT I’m not seeing until Friday, but I can’t remember the last time I didn’t love the critical consensus favorite of the year, so I ranked it somewhere between 3-5 in my BP vote (don’t remember which spot but Lincoln and Argo were 1 and 2).
It’s a shame Judi Dench didn’t make the cut for Beasts of the Southern Wild.
I still say “Lincoln” is the most boring film of the year.
Overall, overrated and overnominated. There are much better films in various categories that are worth mentioning and are more deserving (as some of the results here so indicate by some pretty smart filmgoers who aren’t sheep).
I remember last year when the director of “Drive” came in on AD’s list as No. 3 and Albert Brooks from the same filme came in No. 2(I may be off here – simply relying on memory), but both Nichlas Winding Refn and Albert Brooks never received AMPAS nominations (and that was really a shame).
I suspect a Lincoln sweep this year, resulting in another major “yawn” from me over the Oscar show.
I like the old days, when there were surprises. Here’s hoping for a nomination for Denis Levant from “Holy Motors”. That would make me happy.
Cool to see Ezra Miller make the cut!
Ugh..SOmeone really didnt like Zero Dark Thirty
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/dan-froomkin/zero-dark-thirty-is-a-des_b_2440627.html
interested to see Judi dench’s performance in Beasts get some votes- it was a very subtle one lol
interested to see that the readers here follow the usual groupthink rules; nominate the things that everyone else is nominating, including things you have not seen. ZDT an example for many
I’m shocked Ann Dowd didn’t make it. It seemed like so many here were voting for her.
Yay for Ezra Miller and Stephen Chbosky. I would love if the Academy would recognize both tomorrow, but I’ll take just a nomination for the screenplay. Would be much worse if it was snubbed in every single category.
Wooo for Looper in Screenplay…and poor TDKR…at least it got an editing nomination…and yes people definitely voted for what they thought the academy would vote for…so in other words we are no different from the real academy in that we vote for things we haven’t seen either
I to only voted for what I seen
I’m shocked no juno temple she didn’t even make the list for best actress I voted for her
Or 2011’s 3rd best, to be exact.
Thanks, France.
Jessica Chastain is very high considering that maybe 8% of us had seen ZDT, so people were mostly predicting the Oscars, I can see. I voted for what I had seen. Like Ezra Miller, who got in, but here it was also a bit of a consolation for fucking it up with Kevin (last year’s 3rd best film).
@lsuduck
Original Screenplay
Django
Zd30
Moonrise
Looper
Amour
Editing

Scratch that about the links not working. Thanks Rob!
Original screenplay and editing still don’t work 🙁 Also, it definitely seems like people voted like the academy at least Picture wise seeing how Les Mis was 3rd despite the hatred on here, ZDT isn’t wide till this week and Amour is hardly playing anywhere either. Hmm.
ANd no Helen Mirren?

An updated list of links can be found here.
I need to rerun the Supporting Actress Categories. It appears that Ann Dowd did not show up on the list. She only received 4 first round ballots. It is doubtful that she would have made an impact on these results.
I cry foul play on the Zero Dark Thirty nomination…I don’t believe enough people saw it in order for it to be nominated!
Anyone care to type the 5 actors in each category here? My computer does not like clicking any No Results and I don’t want to play wizard by typing my own url’s.
We should start calling this the Awards Daily Film Enthusiasts Awards (ADFEAs). The top 5 are the nominees, the first placers are the eventual winners. Sasha should send plaques and trophies to the honorees.

Holy crap look how far down Alan Arkin is?! I like him in Argo but have always thought it was such a small role and didn’t get how he was a ‘lock’ by so many. Maybe he doesn’t make the cut…
For some reason I’m still not able to view the results for Actress, Original Screenplay, and Editing. All the other categories I’m able to see.
I’m starting to wonder if peeps really voted for their own preferences or tried to predict the Oscars. Well Academy members tend do the same thing anyway: choose their favorite pick among the frontrunners.
And the funniest part is I didn’t even vote for her even though I’m a Les Mis supporter!
Think some of these are a no go esp the guy for holy rollers
Anne Hathaway crushes the competition with 46.85% of the BSA votes, this is almost twice as much as Jlaw in the Best Actress race. That’s quite unexpected on a site like AD where readers are often put off by loud frontrunners, I guess she really has it in the bag.
OMG Pi snub.
Where is Anne Dowd? I voted for her, but more like #3 because I thought everyone here loved her and resented Anne Hathaway and Sally Field! Ugh.
Very content with these nominations! Happy for Hugh Jackman. I’m pretty surprised Ezra snuck in there, and LOVE that Emily Blunt came SO close. Very interesting to see how the system works.
Am I blind or is Ann Dowd completely not even on the entire list for supporting actress. that is a huge shock.
Eddie Redmayne put up quite a fight.
Rob, thank you so much for doing this! Just two questions: I voted through my phone, so just to make sure my votes counted… The movies appearing in the Best Picture document are only #1 choices, right?
And after all the support in the comments, Rebel Wilson got no votes at all? Or are those only #1 votes as well?
I don’t understand the redistribution rates differential between Lawrence and Chastain. Isn’t Lawrence’s rate supposed to be higher than Chastain’s since she has more votes???
“No Results Found” is unbeatable this year! Will win everything for sure!
so, some doesn’t work.
Life of Pi missing out on BP nomination is soooo “only on AD”. We often act like we know better than AMPAS, and yet, this happens 😀
Can you post the links plase? I can’t figure out the acting :/
David, post like that:
http://www.ellipticcurvecreations.com/2012Directing.pdf
“Lincoln is on first place in BP, BD, Best Actor, Best Sup Actor and Best Adapted Screenplay.”
Bummer! I’m afraid the Academy will follow suit, let the steamroll begin 🙁
worked for BP mecid but can’t get it to work for the others
Lincoln is on first place in BP, BD, Best Actor, Best Sup Actor and Best Adapted Screenplay.
guys, make it simply like this and it will be shown.
