The Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences just announced it will for the first time since 1943 field 10 best picture nominees instead of five. Sid Ganis (Academy President) still reminds you, "The final outcome, of course, will be the same -- one Best Picture winner."
And here we thought they were going to be giving away 5. But we remind you Sid Ganis, just because you have double the nominees doesn't mean you will have double the waning ratings. Though it's a welcome addition after seeing snubs the past couple of years. Heck, maybe this will even open up getting another animated best picture contender finally. Now if only they would open up the acting categories, or split them like the Golden Globes. One thing is for certain, this will certainly be more interesting and exciting to watch. What do you guys think?
