Joke. ‘Weighted’ according to some arbitrary formula/points system distribution. The best reviewed films of the year are actually Mad Max, Carol, Spotlight, Inside Out, Brooklyn, 45 Years, Room, Sicario, Amy, The Martian, seen clearly from their Rotten Tomatoes and Metacritic scores and average ratings.
