I like it in theory. Some years there are more than five movies that deserve the recognition. Very rarely are there ten. This system allows for that variation. Had it been in place a few years back, The Dark Knight and WALL-E might have gotten nominations, while The Blind Side almost certainly wouldn’t have.
Of course, that’s the theory. It’ll be interesting to see how it works in reality.
Well, I think it’s better than the status quo. if you have seven or so really good pictures, but ten slots… you’re basically giving a bump to invalid movies who can then go out and say “Academy award nominated for best picture!” but are, in fact, complete dreck. The way things were headed, we might eventually have ended up with a Transformers movie slotted in there or something.
Frankly, I think they should go back to five. In most years, there is not really going to be more good movies than that. yeah, sure maybe once every few years you have an unusually strong field, but in general, you get five Best Picture contenders, five money maker movies that were good but not great, and five horrendous bombs… and then a field of “also released in 20xx” films.
at least that’s my humble opinnion
they should go back to 5 but they are not going to. so instead they should have 10 catagories and two awards. Best Picture and Almost Best Picture. (they can give a silver Oscar for Almost Best. Just like the Olympics.)
It is just to get more print on the paper (or links on the internet as the kids say these days) Movies are a moneygrab and it is just a way of shoring up the revenue stream. Now there can be 9 movies that have Acadamy Award Nominiated on the DVD box art.
But in the world of streaming video where will they print the award tags?
The world is changing faster than the Acadamy can follow.
Having 10 best picture nominees and only 5 directing and acting nominees was one of the stupidest things The Academy ever did. 7? Fine. Make all the marquee categories 7 nominations.
They should just have all the directors movies for a certain time period fight it out Thunderdome style. The last one standing gets the award for Best Picture.
