The IRA of IRAs -- The Best Film To Win The IRA Award For Best Picture
To celebrate the 50th anniversary of the IRAs, a special award was established: the IRA of IRAs. Members studied the 53 films that have been honored with Best Picture during the last 50 years. (Yes, we can count. Some years, there was a tie.) Inevitably, some members had never seen certain IRA winners. Others felt obliged to rewatch certain movies to see how they held up. Ballots were handed out, listing all 53 films alphabetically and asking members to award them points: 53 points for their favorite, 52 points for their second favorite and so on down to 1 pt for their least favorite IRA winner.
So, the IRAs are proud to offer its list of the IRA of IRAs, followed by the receipts: how many points each film received, how tie-breaks were broken, a movie by movie breakdown of the points they received from each voter and finally, the ballots submitted by each voting member. Enjoy!
And the IRA of IRAs, the best film to be honored with Best Picture during the first 50 years of the IRAs is...
Three Colours: Red (1994; dir. Krzysztof Kieşlowski)
