Just finished Mildred Pierce ... wow. I get this feeling like I'm gonna be referencing Veda for a very very long time. I'm happy the last 2 parts weren't as slow as the others and surprised by how heavy the big reveal was. Almost makes me wanna watch it all again...almost.

For arguments sake, I tallied up for each genre what I thought to be the elite/best of the best. While everyone had at least one in my rankings, the average was 2 and the most anyone had was 4. Those who only had 1 ended up having stronger utility choices... so in the end it balanced out in my eyes. I did give bonus points if you were in the elite genre/utility, but they were bonus points and weren't the primary factor.
I also considered draft order. If you had an exceptionally strong pick in round 7 or later, I looked more favorably on that. Likewise, if you reached and took a subpar film in the first 5 rounds, that was a factor for me.
For some of the films I haven't seen, I did my best to research reviews/aggregate and specific critics and did my best not to hold it against you. There were only a handful of those, so that wasn't a big issue.
The top 3 were all close but were the best. Places 4-6 were tough, all were essentially tied on my voting. For the rest, in some cases it was a matter of a few weak choices bringing down your score, simply not having enough elite choices, plenty of good but not great picks, etc. I used a modified letter grade system, similar to a GPA if you will. As I said, it factored in overall roster as the primary score, then bonus for draft order and elite genre picks.
I spent a good amount of time on this, after participating in the last draft I know you guys put a lot of time into it, so I won't short change you in my voting. I'll explain my choices if people have objections, it was pretty tough, and there were definitely members who had very strong choices in the middle of the rankings.

So far I have about 8 votes given to me. And a couple more still to come thru from judges, and I need about 10 more from the actual owners. We'll keep the voting open for a few more days like we did for the 90's to properly digest these drafts.
I want to thank everyone for helping, participating, etc. Helluva way to pass the days at work.
