Why are there so many more Oscar nominees for Best Picture this year?
In 2009, the Academy decided to expand the filed of nominees for Best Picture from five to ten. The Academy has not nominated ten films in this category for many years, but it is not the first time. One of the reasons that the Academy cited for making this change is that it was that at least two Oscar-worthy films were not nominated in 2008, which many critics thought should have been. Those two films were Dark Knight and WALL-E. Another possible reason for including ten nominees in the Best Picture category is to increase viewer ship. The Academy Awards ceremony has suffered from falling ratings the past several years. By including more films in the Best Picture category, the Academy can include more popular films, and that might encourage more people to tune in. One of the criticism of the longer list of nominees is the new method of voting. Instead of Academy members simply voting for their favorite, they have been instructed to rank all ten in their order of worthiness. This could possibly have the effect of diluting the vote. For example, if the Academy members are divided between the first and second most-worthy film, but they all agree on which is the third most-worthy film, then the third-most worthy film will win the award.
