The way I understand it, that is allowed under the way the Oscars do preferential voting. It's a very strange system. But I do encourage everyone to include as many nominees as they can without giving points to nominees they don't think deserve it, as you said. Also, as I think I've mentioned, anyone can feel free to go back and edit their posts before 6:00 pm EST March 2nd.
