"Mad Max: Fury Road" Wins FIPRESCI Grand Prix 2015
"Mad Max: Fury Road", the critical and commercial success by Australian filmmaker George Miller, was the winner of this year's FIPRESCI Grand Prix 2015 to the best film of the past year, open to any feature-length work premièred since July, 2014. 493 colleagues from all over the world participated in one or both phases of the poll.
The new voting modality, inaugurated last year according to discussions at the General Assembly, divides the process into two phases. In the first, all members were invited to freely nominate up to three feature-length films of any origin or nature, as long as they had been premiered no earlier than July 1st, 2014. 266 colleagues from all over the world proposed the outstanding total of 211 different titles (though it must be mentioned that many of them were too old to be eligible.)
The four films with the most votes then went on to the second phase of the poll, arriving in the following order:
1.- Mad Max: Fury Road (George Miller)
2.- Son of Saul (Saul fia, László Nemes)
3.- The Assassin (Nie yin niang, Hou Hsiao-Hsien)
4.- Taxi (Jafar Panahi)
The next ten films with the highest scores in the first round of the poll were, in order:

Inside Out (Pete Docter, Ronaldo del Carmen)
Carol (Todd Haynes)
Youth (Paolo Sorrentino)
Arabian Nights* (As mil e uma noites, Miguel Gomes)
Mia madre (Nanni Moretti)
Inherent Vice (Paul Thomas Anderson)
* All episodes were counted together, as most members nominated the whose series.
Grand Prix 2014 for "Boyhood" in Massive Voting Process
Richard Linklater's 12-year project Boyhood was elected the best film of the past year (since July 2013) in the most massive poll in the history of FIPRESCI's Grand Prix: 553 colleagues issued a valid vote in one or both phases of the process.
The voting process was modified after discussions at the past General Assembly, where it was decided that there would automatically be a second round of voting. In the past, a runoff vote was called only in the case of a very tight result. This two-round system turned the first part of the poll into a nominating phase. As usual, all members were invited to freely propose up to three feature-length films of any origin or nature, as long as they had been premiered no earlier than July 1st, 2013. The responses sent in by 267 colleagues nominated a total of 86 different titles. The four finalists were Boyhood, by Richard Linklater, Ida, by Pawel Pawlikowski, The Grand Budapest Hotel, by Wes Anderson, and Winter Sleep (Kış Uykusu), by Nuri Bilge Ceylan. It can now be revealed that Boyhood was already in first place.
In the second phase, 478 colleagues cast a valid vote (another 64 voted blank, which had no incidence in the results). The Grand Budapest Hotel received 91 ballots (19.04%); Ida, 97 (20.29%); Winter Sleep, 124 (25.94%); and Boyhood 166, which represented 34.73% of all valid votes.
1. Boyhood (Richard Linklater) 166 votes
2. Kis uykusu / Winter Sleep (Nuri Bilge Ceylan) 124 votes
3. Ida (Pawel Pawlikowski) 97 votes
4. The Grand Budapest Hotel (Wes Anderson) 91 votes
5. Leviathan (Andrey Zvyagintsev)
6. Her (Spike Jonze)
7. Adieu au langage / Goodbye to Language 3D (Jean-Luc Godard)
8. Mommy (Xavier Dolan)

Yes, once again there was a coincidence between the Palm d'Or and the Grand Prix. But no, that does not mean at all that critics all vote alike. The 245 colleagues who responded to the poll mentioned a total of 166 films, and 91 of them only once!
