The number of Best Pic noms will be 10, not 5, this year, in an effort to include a more diverse selection of films.
WTF.
It's sad that films like "Wall-E" didn't make the cut last year, but if they're going to increase the number of slots at most they should add 2. Or cap it at 10, and not necessarily have that many. This is definitely a move linked with the bad economy: more nominated movies=more likely people will go see them? Makes no difference to me. It's just going to exacerbate the rivalry between film buffs and mainstreamers. Imagine: Transformers 2 vs. token Holocaust movie. I think not.
PS I'm so pumped for "Up!"
