AND THE WINNERS SHOULD BE

The IMDb voters have spoken, over 9200 of them. Worries about Soderbergh's two nominations splitting the vote and allowing someone else to slip through in the Best Director category seem to be unfounded with his votes for Erin Brockovich and Traffic coming in at a combined total that was less than 70% of the total for Ang Lee. The most closely contested category, though, was Best Documentary, Features, where the #1 and #3 film were separated by less than 50 votes.

The nominees and their relative percentages are below, or you can grab a list of just the winners here.
