We used the preferential ballot for this category only. Under this ruling, a movie must receive over 50% of the vote in order to win. With each round, the movie with the least number of votes gets removed and their ballot moves on to the second ranking, and so on. For this category, The Power of the Dog was the clear winner, as we only needed two rounds for it to reach the requisite number of votes.

FUN FACTS

Of the 41 films that earned nominations, only nine won awards. The following films were: The Power of the Dog (6 wins), Dune (4 wins), Parallel Mothers (3 wins), Flee (3 wins), Titane (1 win), The Tragedy of Macbeth (1 win), Mass (1 win), Passing (1 win) and Summer of Soul (...Or, When The Revolution Could Not Be Televised (1 win).
West Side Story entered the ballot with ten nominations. In the end, it pulled a Color Purple and lost all ten. It came closest to winning the Music category.
Despite winning three awards, Parallel Mothers was the only Best Picture nominee to not receive a single #1 vote in the preferential ballot for Best Picture.
Other than the Sound and Visual Effects category (where Dune and 1-2 competitors dominated), only two nominees failed to receive a single vote.
