Well, “there’s always one,” as they say. And I messed up by saying Honeyland was the only movie to be nominated for both Best Documentary and Best International Film. It’s also happened the last two years, and Flee was a great movie that I loved last year. My only excuse (and that’s what it is) is that I was juggling A LOT of research and I just flat out got it wrong. Now my penance is to see the top rated comments highlight my only big mistake (I think) in this video. As always, I do my best but I still mess up.
Hi Dan why does the academy continue to ignore stunt actors?
Great work regardless Dan!
nonetheless this video was very informative, accessible and put together greatly. I especially enjoyed your demonstration of the best picture process, made it easy to understand but also raised the question whether or not that's actually the best way to do it. but as you've said, this is what we've got. thanks for your hard work on this!
Not a problem man
some things slip through the cracks, no worries. i loved Flee a fantastic movie.
Man, that race between Elvis and Women Talking was nail biting and had all the stages of suspense of an Eurovision live vote counting. Only thing missing was the anticipation music and individual voters on crazy outfits.
If the Oscars for Best Picture were counted live like Eurovision, as you showed, more people would see them live.
I love how the randomizer actually gave Dan the most perfect example of how ranked choice voting can affect the final results
it'd be hilarious if this was how it'll play out IRL.
@@benzaiten933 That would drive the conspiracy theorist crazy! There is no way that they would believe the results. Now I really, really want this to happen!
And that’s why I will not believe that EEAAO has it until they open the envelope.
@@hothotheat3000 one can dream.
I wish they’d release the full results. I’d love to know how close the votes are.
They once did a recount for Saving Private Ryan vs Shakespeare In Love and Crash vs Brokeback Mountain, two of the most controversial Best Picture win ever and the result were if it had given a second chance (now that Weinstein is in jail of course), Saving Private Ryan and Brokeback Mountain would've won
Hey Dan, just wanted to show some appreciation for your ranked choice voting demonstration. It looks like it took a lot of work, but it paid off! Really love how you did it. Thanks for this video 😊
There is probably an excel sheet, but yeah, great job showing how the system works and it looks like a lot of work on the entire video.
this demonstration made it so much easier to understand than just the explanation!
@Butch Johnson It’s a full custom graphic that I built in Photoshop, not an Excel spreadsheet! That sequence probably took the most work in the whole video.
I thought it stacked up like a combo bonus so if you had Elvis at fifth but your first 4 got eliminated, Elvis would get a 5x multiplier on your ballot lol. Thinking about it for more than a second told me that that was needless complication for no reason
Legit. That demo made this so much easier to understand.
Well now I have an answer for every time I have smacked my forehead in angst, exclaiming, "How the heck did THAT win an Oscar?!" Thanks for adding such context and behind-the-scenes details, Dan!
6:04 "Flee" was also nominated in both the "Best Documentary Feature" and "Best International Feature Film" categories. The movie was also nominated for "Best Animated Feature Film".
Dan, this might be one of the best videos you have ever made. Not just for the insight and the indepth knowledge but the mock ballot and the images and soundbites used throughout the video (your editing skills remain on point!) make it a really enjoyable ride rather than someone just reading out some rules. Loved this!
Thank you Dan for your incredible hard work putting that video together. I’ve read other explanations about Academy voting but never as thorough and clear as your discussion. 👍🏼
Thank you so much for this Dan! I had no idea there was even a category for best musical. Your dedication to researching the industry is truly unparalleled, even if you make some small mistakes sometimes. You're only human. We all love you and your videos anyway.
INCREDIBLE to find out the secret category that's never been implemented, that's insane to me. I just found out about the rare ties in Oscar history, if you make a part 2 would love to hear your thoughts and research on that, and if you think it could happen again in our lifetime. Great work!
'Honeyland' is not the only film nominated for both the Best Documentary Feature and Best International Feature Film categories. 'Collective' from Romania scored noms in both places the following year and last year 'Flee' also landed nods in those categories as well as Best Animated Feature Film.
That moment when you realize you should have said “first” and not “only.” Mistake on my part, 100%. There was bound to be one.
Fascinating and enlightening! Thanks for taking the time to explain this. I especially liked the fake ballots--that helped me to better understand the process. I'm not much of an awards show fan (I've never seen one), but I'm always interested in behind the scenes stuff! (PS: I'd watch a part two--but I don't have any ideas or suggestions for what to include--but if you post it, I'll watch it)
this is going to become your most watched video Dan, good job making it so thorough and easy to follow, what with all the explanations, examples, and visuals 👏
Wow! I’m blown away at how you managed to present the info in such a digestible way! I really appreciate the time you put into this. Thanks, Dan!!
What a great video! Always wanted to know the process and there is no other video which does it so comprehensively. Amazing Dan, good job!
What a fantastic video, Dan! The ranked choice demonstration was amazing. I didn't know that's how the Best Picture was selected that way. It really is fascinating.
Appreciate you providing all this info, Dan! Especially the effort to go through the ranked choice voting demo 👌🏼Excited for next Sunday!!
Dan, gotta hand it to you man. Love this video, and the work you put into it. Your love for movies is why I love this channel. Thanks!
Dan this video is so sensational. Informative, funny, and done with impeccable editing and film clips! I'm sending this to all my friends.
Absolutely brilliant video Dan! The Best Picture ballot simulation was great to see, it made the process clear! Thanks!
This is fantastic! Very well made, easy to understand, and explains everything I ever wanted to know about The Oscars (and a bit more). Great job Dan!
That demonstration was really cool to see and very helpful!
FANTASTIC breakdown, Dan!! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
This video was incredible! I never knew how the system worked until now and I've seen other videos trying to explain it. Thanks for your hard work in putting this together :)
Dan thanks for all your time explaining the Oscars this year - voting, campaigning, etc. I really enjoy your channel and your insights!
I appreciate the work that went into this video
I was anticipating a video like this for a while now
This is awesome! Thank you for all the incredible, and painstaking work you do.
Excellent work Dan, thanks for the effort!
What a great video! Thank you, Dan.
That was a great and very informative video. And this oscar ranked choice demonstration was awesome. I found myself rooting for some movies to stay in the race although I knew full well this was a mock up for demonstration purposes. Well done, sir, well done!
Great video, I thought I knew everything there was to know about the Oscars but you actually shed light on some interesting behind the scenes processes
This was a top notch video! Presented in such an easily digestible way while still being thoroughly informative!
Thanks, Dan. For all the hard works and education ...
Can’t wait to tuck in! Love ur deep dive well researched videos!
Excellent work, thanks for this Dan!
Love that you did this Dan!! Very thorough and insightful-have so much respect for you and your content! Keep it up!
Great idea Dan - looking forward to this :D
Great video, Thanks Dan!
Loved the snark and wit embued throughout the video. Took me by surprise, as I'm used to Charts' pacing, but it was a pleasant surprise.
These are the best kinda videos Dan you explain these things so well! Ty keep it up!
You're so cool, Dan. Love how clear you are. Congrats!
Love this stuff! Thank you for your service. Keep it up!
Thank you for all your informative videos Dan!
Incredible work. You're the best.
Great video Dan, really like to this kind of deep dives from you
Dan! Thanks so much for, well, alll of this! I've been watching you for a while and have gotten what I thought was a full idea of how it worked. The details though make it all work clearly, as you show here. In particular your step-by-step 21 ballot example perfectly showed how the ranked voting works. Enlightening, thank you sir!
6:38 Hey, what with the jab at Finland? Who needs Spielberg when we already have Renny Harlin 😎😅
This is a brilliant video. Thank you!
Fantastic video Dan!
i need to share this. Thanks dan for the work.
Great vid dan!!!
Thank you so much for this video, Dan! So insightful and well explained!
I always love your content, definitely my favourite movie creator and critic, but this video is just amazing! As someone not from the USA and not previously into the Oscars, it's just fantastic to see such a well-made breakdown of the voting system!
Awesome video Dan. There was so much I didn’t know.
Wonderful detail and explanations
Dan, thank you 😊 for this great public service. 👏 I learnt a great deal. That ranking system is a head scratcher but I now see the sense in it.
Just wanted to comment and genuinely say thank you to this amazing video, very educational and easy to follow. I can tell a ton of work went into this and it doesn’t go unnoticed! Great video Dan!
Thank you so much, Dan, for this excellent video. It genuinely made the process, which was a complete mystery to me before this video, understandable. I especially appreciate the example you gave at the end for the best picture. The graphics were clear, and your explanations as to how films were eliminated in each round and why the winner took the statue home was interesting. Thanks again. :)
This was a great video Dan.
Thanks for for mentioning my movie Dan! Definitely should have gotten a nom that year!

Very well explained. Thanks!
That's some great video, thank you!
WOWWWWWWWW What an amazing deep dive. Thank you for this. Mind blowing the work you put in and your ability to explain! x
Wow, this was a very lovely and informative video. Thank you so much!
Thanks for this video, very insightful and thorough
Thanks for this. Lots of good info!
Thank you so, so much for explaining the voting system for the Oscars. I think it's very elaborate and complicated, but very interesting. I would ha a Fielday counting votes using that system.
your videos are normaly over 25 mins. But they are so entertaining I allways watch them complete
Thanks for this nerd nirvana of info. Loved it and would love to see more Oscar trivia (e.g. the detail of directors of winning International Films not winning an award).
Very informative, thank you Dan
Great video! Thanks!
Amazing video!
Brilliant explanation of a very convoluted voting system. Thanks so much.
Most underrated channel on UA-cam! Great stuff 🎉
So thats why my bootlegs in the early 2000s had the "For your consideration" watermark throughout the movie
Bravo, sir. Bravo. And thank you!
Great explainer vid, Dan. Also, "Ghost of David Bowie" absolutely killed me!
IKR LOL
Omg. What a convoluted voting system. I had no idea that this is how it was. Thank you for explaining with visuals. It made it easy to understand.
Very informative!
Great job on this Dan. Just FYI, "ranked choice voting" is also called "instant runoff voting" and is used in the European Parliamentary system. The advantage it has over the winner-take-all system we have in the States is that it ensures even the lesser-funded parties, such as the Green Party, are more assured of representation.
These days it feels like the UA-camrs I subscribe to are all watching the same movies, so it's redundant to watch everyone's similar reviews, but the fact that you make videos like this helps set you apart.
Amazing explanation
Knowing about the nominations procedures and rules can explain a lot of the wacky WTF nominees and exclusions throughout the years.
AMAZING VIDEO AND CONTENT 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Great video.
Research must have taken enormous amount of time.
Very nice, Dan, thank you.
If i may, on a personal note, i wish everything in this video went down just a tiny bit slower, to soak up more comfortably all the information.
Still, admirable work, as usual.
Great video! I love Dan's sense of humor, that cocaine bear really got me
omg, thank you for this, much needed cuz I wasn't going to google this to just get even more confused.
I think it would also be interesting to a deep dive on how movies are made - especially since a lot of people dont know the difference between sound editing and sound mixing (I know for the oscars its just one combine category now).
This is fantastic! Anytime someone asks me how the Oscars work, I’ll just direct them to this video! ❤
A great sequel to this video would be everything that goes into lobbying and campaigning for Oscars and why snubs are so frequent. Plus the relationship or lack of one between different awards shows.
Watched this nearly twice already, it's one of your best and most informative videos ever dude! Thanks for going thru all that effort, especially with the ranked choice demo and the smartly placed film clips pulled to illustrate what you happened to be talking about.
I think the only thing missing (or I might've stupidly missed) in the 'nomination procedures' section is the big one - Best Picture. Sorry if it's obvious to others, but I'm guessing ALL the branches (9500 members) combine to select the 10 nominees each year via ranked choice? Where does the initial big list come from then, and how big does it get considering everything seems to be eligible from live-action thru animation. Also, what about international films who've made the list like All Quiet & Drive My Car? Would RRR be eligible for BP for example, if the producers submitted it themselves, or does it still have to be submitted by 'the country' of India?
Speaking of eligibility, do you know if documentaries or short films are eligible for the broad definition of "Best Picture?" If there are prior examples in years past I apologize, I only know of animated films and international films that've made the BP list haha Though it's entirely possible everything is eligible but nobody has ever voted for them.
I love how how you are my stats and data go to guy for film 🎉 keep up the good work
Wow. The Best Picture procedure seems messy as hell. Thanks for the primer, Dan! Much appreciated.
This is going to help me fill out my at-home Oscars ballot, thank you Dan
Thanks for the vid. Good stuff. I think I'm still mad at the preferential balloting system lol.
great video
Thank you for this video! The Best Picture example really hit it out of the park, explaining how this works and now I get why some of the "wtf" films win.
