It's also instant runoff voting

The votes are tallied, and then the votes for the last place finisher and redistributed to their second-place choice. This is repeated until one movie reaches 50% of the vote.

Since they went to this system, the number of "surprise" Best Picture winners has increased. Spotlight and The Shape of Water were rather shocking wins.

Hard to predict what movie in this field would benefit most from that kind of voting. It would seem to hurt Bohemian Rhapsody and Green Book which are very divisive.
