They could just reload the page and add it again. Only allowing people to vote once should be handled server side. They could even send POST requests straight to the back end.

This is no longer a problem as you can no longer add multiple instances of a film which you have already nominated. If you select multiple films, each is handled in turn, so the first film will be "added", but after that nothing further will happen.

The only slight problem is your veto preference for the last film in the list is the one that will stick, but that's your fault for trying to add a film more than once.
