This was a good shot but it's far too rediculous to successfully execute for many reasons. Here's what i would do host. I would do this myself but i Haven't the pictures nor know how to post them to open my own and i think this is more up your alley anyway. You should have contenders for every genere of movies. And i don't necessarily mean drama, action, sci-fi. You could do one that just relies on the one part of the film it was trying to do the best in all generes. Example: The Best acting performance in a sci-fi vrs. the best story line movie in Sci-Fi vs. The best effects for a sci-fi (must be groundbreaking and significant for the time) vs. The best character in a sci-fi. The winners of all these different aspects would compete for the title of the best all around sci-fi movie in the genere.
You can do this for all the generes adding a couple different aspects depending upon the genere and after the votes have decided which are all the best movies in their genere, you can then finally vote and pick the winner for the title of the best movie of all time. That's the way i would do it. It's much fairer and more structured. Also, a little bias sway isn't a bad thing because sometimes the voters really aren't there so sometimes it's just best to pick the one that should win, listening to the voters ofcourse. Ofcourse, you can't do that for the final round.
That's my two cents.
