The Oscars are this Sunday, and as you might know, the Best Picture balloting is unique among the AMPAS categories because it operates on a preferential ballot (which is _different_ from a weighted ballot).

So in addition to voting for who would be your #1 choice, please rank all the nominees in your order of preference if you could vote for the award, so we can tally the SDMB votes more similarly to how the Academy itself does it.
