It says "awaiting 5 votes." This keeps getting asked. But, it seems there was questionable voting trends going on and is being investigated or being kept from it's votes gettting counted.

Also, the short answer would be, because it hasn't had enough votes by "regular voters," which is what the top 250 shows. So, if it's being vote bombed by folks trying to have it show fake ratings in order to get it to the top, those faked votes obviously won't count.

Because it works this out based on regular voters, so people signing up to stuff votes (for example) have little impact on this. As far as I'm aware that is, IMDB don't provide many about their algorithms, weightings, and rankings so people can't game the system.
