In a move designed to increase anticipation and competition, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences President Sid Ganis announced that the Best Picture category at next year's Oscars will be expanded from five to TEN nominees.From 1932 to 1943-the category included ten films but was pared down to five in 1944.
This will "allow academy voters to recognize and include some of the fantastic movies that often show up in the other Oscar categories, but have been squeezed out of the race for the top prize" Ganis told The Envelope...
Let's hope this will allow for some crowd-pleasers to be nominated--IE movies that mainstream audiences went to see...
The nominations will be announced February 2nd 2010.
