the whole “it’s an honor just to be nominated” line will be a sham. i would never put the #1 film in the same ranking or league as a #10 film, but they soon will be lumped together. The other 5 probably wont stand a chance to of winning, so whats the point

I agree… 10 movies cheapens the meaning of the award. I could care less which movie wins because it’s always all over the place, but the nominations are what I think counts the most. Ten is too much.

And yes, Dreamworks can’t hang with Pixar. Nor can Sony.

Didn’t think the Oscars could get much worse but it’s happening.

Ridiculous. I think this removes some of honor and exclusivity of being nominated. 5 movies are easy to remember, 10 is not. It’s a cop out.

There’s going to be some bad movie niminated for Best Picture in the future. I’d actually support this ONLY if it meant more foreign, animated, and indie films would be considered for Best Picture, but I suspect it will simply be more big studio American films.

And Pixar just absolutely destroys Dreamworks. It’s not even close.
