Comments on: 82nd Academy Awards to Feature 10 Best Picture Nominees!?! WTF? http://www.scene-stealers.com/blogs/82nd-academy-awards-to-feature-10-best-picture-nominees/ Movies with Rock Sat, 21 Nov 2009 09:54:06 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.3.3 By: Andie http://www.scene-stealers.com/blogs/82nd-academy-awards-to-feature-10-best-picture-nominees/#comment-15563 Andie Fri, 26 Jun 2009 20:27:43 +0000 http://www.scene-stealers.com/blogs/82nd-academy-awards-to-feature-10-best-picture-nominees/#comment-15563 I do not like this idea of ten best films. 1st are there really 10 movies good enough to be nominated? I’d understand if it was up to ten, that way like last year where there were 6 (I exclude button from my list) that were definitely worthy of nomination. 2nd will they be doing the Oscar showcase? The day before the Oscars we sit in a theater for 15 hours and watch the 5 nominated, there is no way the day before they can show all ten. Are they breaking it up into two days/weekends? Or stop it all together? On a side note about up, there is a category for best-animated film, so it being up in the best picture category it would have the chance of winning two best pictures. I do not like this idea of ten best films.

Like last year when Slumdog Millionaire was the only deserving film to be nominated. maybe they should concentrate on nominating better films first time round instead of nominating mediocre or just above average films then realizing that there was only one good one out of their list of five.

It's the right thing to do as we have many more films being made each year than were made 60 years ago. Perhaps they should review all of their old policies.
