Jun 24 2009This Will Mess Up Our Academy Awards Gambling
Cameron Diaz will have to trudge through twice as many film titles next year! Finally catching up to the trend of critics making top ten lists, the Academy Awards will begin nominating ten films for Best Picture beginning with the 82nd Oscars next year, leaving Hollywood the burdensome task of creating nearly a dozen watchable movies before year's end.
I can only assume that, given another few decades, the Academy Awards will finally catch up to internet list trends and add nominations for "Ten Most Ridiculously Hot Aliens to Get Laid in a Sci-Fi Movie."

I go to the AMC best movie showcase every year, so I wonder if this will turn into a weekend long thing.

I guess I will start ignoring movies that claim to have a "Best Picture Nomination", seeing as most decent movies will now aquire that title.

If this really is because of "The Dark Knight", fuck the world.

More popular movies in the circle means more of a divided vote. So movies that no one has seen have a greater shot at winning.
How about just nominating right the first time?

Sometimes there's needed a little change,otherwise it's getting boring.

the choice has met some controversy: http://www.newsy.com/videos/oscars_and_then_there_were_ten
but I think that everyone can think of a movie they thought should have been nominated but wasn't (and it is probably the Dark Knight...)
