Whoops, forgot Fanny and Alexander as only graded the longer cut that came out years later. I think it would have been number one too with my points.

Also, too late now to challenge it, but Danton had did not premiere and had no screenings until 1983, so it wasn't on my radar for this year or to sense check its date.

I initially had Danton as 1983 but moved it to 1982 based on this (winning an award in 1982). And if variant versions of a film come out years later, the film is generally going to be assigned to the earliest release date.

You are always going to miss something or other if you don't closely review the eligibility lists

I was pleasantly surprised with how well Danton did in general! Barely escaped my top ten
