No doubt people are weary of my annual complaint that movies suck now (2025's Skandie eligibility offered literally zero films that I was genuinely excited about, with my three favorites barely climbing out of B into a low B+), so let me pivot to a different tiresome whine: This year's results are boring as fuck. To be clear, I want voters to be honest about their preferences, not avoid obvious front-runners for novelty's sake; I myself gave e.g. Rose Byrne 23 points, because that performance is undeniable no matter how many previous awards it justifiably won. But the Skandies were created 30 years ago with the express intent of providing an alternative to other honors (specifically a sort of people's-choice Usenet poll called the RAMmies, but also the Oscars and even the major critics' prizes; there were as yet no significant widespread critics' polls). And if we're merely affirming what everyone else is saying, there's not much point. As I noted elsewhere, 2025 marks the first time in Skandie history that all seven of our winners (not counting Scene) are Oscar-nominated, and many of them—One Battle After Another, Paul Thomas Anderson (as director), Byrne, Del Toro—also won two or more of the big three (NYFCC, LAFCA, NSFC). That denies me the sense of pride I feel when we recognize greatness that's been overlooked, as when Red Rooms won Picture and Supporting Actress last year, or (going way back) to when we named Jeff Bridges 1998's best actor for The Big Lebowski.
Thing is, it fluctuates from year to year. Last year we were mavericks. This year we were not, in part because everyone agreed on the year's best movie (One Battle did the first clean sweep, apart from the Oscars which haven't yet happened as I write this, since The Social Network...though we gave Picture to Dogtooth that year!), in part because recent membership changes have made the Oscars significantly less embarrassing than they were throughout the Skandies' early history. And when I actually looked, it turned out that we completely buck consensus less frequently than I supposed (though still pretty frequently). Here are all the Skandie winners over the years that did not win the same (or similar) prize from any of (1) the Oscars; (2) the New York Film Critics Circle; (3) the Los Angeles Film Critics Association; (4) the National Society of Film Critics; why not, (5) The National Board of Review; (6) the Indiewire poll; (7) the Village Voice poll; or (8) the Film Comment poll.
PICTURE
Okay, on to the number-crunching. You presumably already know whether or not that's of any interest to you; no shame, certainly, if it isn't. And if by some chance you've stumbled onto this blog without knowing what the Skandies even is: It's an annual poll of cinephiles (mostly not professional critics, though some are) that I've been conducting since 1995, and complete results for the past 29 years—yes, this is the 30th goddamn time I've conducted this thing—can be found here.
NOTE: The layout below is not optimized for mobile. Some of it (the Directors' Gallery at the bottom in particular) will be gobbledygook unless you're on a laptop/desktop.HIGHEST AVERAGE RATING (1996–2025)
(includes only films receiving a minimum of ten votes)
01. 3.65 The Sweet Hereafter (1997)
02. 3.61 Being John Malkovich (1999)
03. 3.61 A Separation (2011)
04. 3.58 Paradise Lost: The Child Murders at Robin Hood Hills (1996)

09. 3.50 From the Journals of Jean Seberg (1996)
10. 3.49 Mad Max: Fury Road (2015)
It's nearly impossible for new films to make this list, due to a significant uptick in voter stinginess with high ratings since the '90s. Here's how it looks for the last decade-plus (since 2010):
01. 3.61 A Separation (2011)
02. 3.49 Mad Max: Fury Road (2015)
03. 3.48 Margaret (2011)
05. 3.46 Nocturama (2017)
3.46 Phantom Thread (2017)
07. 3.45 The Tree of Life (2011)
08. 3.44 Once Upon a Time...in Hollywood (2019)
09. 3.43 Certified Copy (2011)
10. 3.41 Holy Motors (2012)
No new additions this year, and in fact there've been no new additions since 2019 (when movies went to shit imo). Highest-rated film of 2025 was, as you might expect, One Battle After Another, with 3.38. Close (for the recent list), but no cigar.
LOWEST AVERAGE RATING (1996–2025)
(includes only films receiving a minimum of five votes)
01. 0.20 Date Movie (2006)

07. 0.61 The Roommate (2011)
08. 0.67 3000 Miles to Graceland (2001)
09. 0.67 The Human Centipede III (Final Sequence) (2015)
10. 0.70 Beastly (2011)
10. 0.70 Left Behind (2014)
Nothing new here, either. Voters are avoiding the truly terrible films as they get older, and the most hated of 2025, among those that received at least five votes, was Love Hurts, with a comparatively robust 1.20 average.

Though you could argue that it's actually Jay Kelly, which fell one viewer short of 75% and received a 2.30 average. Either way, c'mon, you (Bong, Baumbach) can do better than that.

I went 19/20 in my predictions this year, missed Temptation of Ann Lee because the one voter whose favorite film of the year it was went hog-wild with points, it was really his favorite. Few agreed.

Poor Steven Soderbergh. Maybe someday he'll place a film in the top 20 again. (Last one was Traffic; he's directed 26 since, though The Christophers, which is likely to be on my ballot next year, is still TBD at this writing.) Also of note: high averages for About Thirty (3.20, didn't receive a U.S. release of any sort but was still seen by five voters) and Chain Reactions (3.10), a doc about Texas Chain Saw Massacre that pleased probably five different voters than the ones who saw About Thirty.
For whatever reason, this is the spot where I've been noting Atli Sigurjónsson's annual predictions, which he sends me privately before the daily countdown kicks off. As usual, just looking at voters' top 10 lists and Letterboxd and/or Crix Pix ratings got him reasonably close, though I can't imagine that anyone would have foreseen Red Rooms winning. Here they are, with the film's actual placement noted parenthetically.
1. One Battle After Another (1) 2. Sinners (2) 3. Marty Supreme (5) 4. It Was Just an Accident (11) 5. If I Had Legs I'd Kick You (4) 6. Bugonia (7) 7. Sirāt (3) 8. The Mastermind (8) 9. Eephus (10) 10. Reflection in a Dead Diamond (6) 11. Nouvelle Vague (15) 12. The Secret Agent (9) 13. Sound of Falling (19) 14. Afternoons of Solitude (14) 15. The Shrouds (did not place, #26) 16. Die My Love (13) 17. Misericordia (16) 18. Weapons (18)
He missed Blue Moon (#12) and The Phoenician Scheme (#17). As noted above, I missed only Ann Lee (had No Other Choice in its place) and somehow got the top five exactly right, including order. (This was mostly luck as my estimated points—not meant to match actual points; it's way too complicated to bother explaining—were 146/118/65/63/62. And then 61/59. I likewise had It Was Just an Accident too high, though at #7 rather than #4; not sure what happened there.)

Very nearly the first film to receive this "honor" thanks to my dad, as I wouldn't have seen Rebirth had he not wanted to go for his birthday. 11 voters total, though, so it would have qualified without me.

Gotta go all the way back to 2012's Hyde Park on Hudson for an NYFF selection with a lower average. Remember when its director made our second-favorite film of 2024? That was awesome. (It was not however Queer.)

Again, take ratings for films from the '90s with a grain of salt—no way would The English Patient and Shakespeare in Love get anything close to 3.20+ today.
No Country for Old Men: 3.45
The Departed: 3.42
Parasite: 3.37
The English Patient: 3.27
Anora: 3.26
The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King: 3.26
Titanic: 3.23
Shakespeare in Love: 3.21
The Hurt Locker: 3.18
Oppenheimer: 3.17
Moonlight: 3.14
Million Dollar Baby: 3.06
Gladiator: 3.04
12 Years a Slave: 3.04
American Beauty: 2.97
Argo: 2.86
Spotlight: 2.85
The Artist: 2.82
Chicago: 2.78
A Beautiful Mind: 2.73
Nomadland: 2.72
The King's Speech: 2.63
The Shape of Water: 2.48
Birdman, or (The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance): 2.44
Everything Everywhere All at Once: 2.43
Slumdog Millionaire: 2.42
CODA: 2.28
Crash: 2.11
Green Book: 2.07
Normally I'd have this year's winner in bold, but it looks like I'm gonna get this out prior to the ceremony for once. One Battle seems to be considered the front-runner; that would land it third after No Country and The Departed.

Where Are They Now?
New-ish category! Actors who've had at least two appearances in the top 20, but haven't made the cut in the past ten years. We used to like them. What happened? (Actors who die will be removed a year following their last eligible performance.)
Note: The two-nod minimum, which is meant to keep this list manageable (as there are many, many actors who've shown up only once, most of them in no way notable), also eliminates some big names that one might expect to be here: Dustin Hoffman, Meg Ryan, Winona Ryder, etc.
Each actor's most recent Skandie appearance is in [brackets]. New additions are in bold. Removed because they finally placed again this year: Michael Cera, Gwyneth Paltrow, Sean Penn, Stellan Skarsgård (who'd just been added last year, didn't care for that it seems).

And finally. Back when I started the survey, I remember looking forward to the time, a decade or so later (i.e. 20 years ago now), when there'd be tons of accumulated data to wade through. In particular, I was excited about the prospect of being able to compare how various films from major directors had been received over the years. Granted, that process isn't exactly definitive—the AVB has mutated over the years and even the diehards tend to be stingier with their star ratings than they were back in the mid-'90s. But perhaps my favorite task after receiving the averages is updating my Directors' Gallery, plugging this year's films into various post-'94 oeuvres. Here are the entries that saw additions this year—every filmmaker who's ever placed in the Director top 20. 2025 films are in bold. Numbers in parentheses indicate how the film placed in Best Picture that year, if applicable; if the film title is in parentheses that means it received fewer than 10 votes and hence the result is a bit less meaningful. N/A (not applicable) means it was eligible but didn't even get five votes and so didn't make the main list.
