117578, You're right that there were two arthouse-heavy years in a row.

That year and the year before.

And, as I'm pretty sure I said in at least 2012, the results generally reflect how many people vote. People with arthouse sensibilities vote pretty much every year. When the people whose tastes tend to skew more mainstream don't vote, the arthouse options rise to the top of the polls.

This year, we had better voter turnout than in either of those two years (it was our best turnout in the last five years, if I'm not mistaken). I think the results reflect that.

But I also do think that it helped that many of the usual suspects who support arthouse fare in the Lattes *did* vote for Mad Max and/or Creed. It's a combination of things.
