“846 critics and 358 film directors all voted”
That’s all I needed to read.
Hey, that’s more than usually voted. So it would be more accurate than it was for the last 50 years when Citizen Kane won. Plus many of the new critics and directors are from America.
After all, we are talking about an institution that only cares what the movie critics think, not you. They just want your money, not your opinion.
