Best Answer

In the 1930s and early 1940s, between eight to 12 movies per year were nominated for Best Picture. But the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences reduced the number of nominations to five from 1944 to 2008. In 2009, the Academy reversed its field and announced it would increase the number of Best Picture nominations to 10.
