Leading up to the top 50 list:
• 68 ballots were received during this round of voting (Phase II)
• To avoid ties when they happened, the edge was given to those who appeared in more lists
• Number of female performances appearing on this list : 28
• Number of male performances appearing on this list : 22
• Each ballot is worth 120 points
• 106 received votes during phase II
• 8150 points were distributed
• 35 performances received #1 placement
• Although many films had two performances that made the list, only one film had three. Interestingly, none of those performances cracked the top 10
• Three people (all women) had two performances in the top 50 and two had both performances make the top 10
