His best performance was Blood Diamond

His best film is Catch Me if you Can

These sort of polls are usually slanted towards box-office hits. The film that drew the most money drew the most eyeballs, and the movies that drew the most eyeballs would be the most favorited movie.

I agree that his best performance is Blood Diamond, but I think his best film is Gangs of New York, which is one of the most underrated Scorsese pictures ever (right up there with Silence).

You're spot-on with polls leaning towards box-office hits. Animation is a category that really suffers; you can see it at the Academy Awards where it's just "whatever Disney-Pixar did this year," breezing by amazing movies because the voters didn't bother seeing them, or just went with what their kid liked.
