There were more than five Best Picture nominees during most of the 1930s and early 1940s. The 1944 Academy Awards reduced the number to five and it stayed that way until the 2009 Oscars when the number was upped to 10. After two years of the experiment, designed to create more interest in the Oscars telecast, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced in June 2011 that the number of Best Picture nominees will vary from five to 10.
