How Do You Know? (2010)

(That's the movie title)

Jack Nicholson was born in New York City, New York, U.S.

The 2 Irish-born actors to win acting Oscars are:

1) Barry Fitzgerald, for Best Supporting Actor for the 1944 movie, "Going My Way" (for which he was also nominated for Best Actor, which is no longer possible), and

2) Brenda Fricker, the Best Supporting Actress winner for 1989's "My Left Foot".

More famously, Daniel Day-Lewis, who holds the record for the most Best Actor Oscars with 3 (and was nominated for 2 more), was born in England but holds duel citizenship in the UK and Ireland, dividing his time between Ireland and New York with his wife and family.

Irish-born Peter O'Toole holds the record for most Oscar nominations without a win (8), but was finally awarded the Academy Honorary Award in 2003 in recognition of his career. So, technically, he's the 3rd Irish actor to win an Oscar, though not an acting one.

Other Irish actors who have been nominated for Oscars include Richard Harris (twice), Stephen Rea, and Liam Neeson.

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.

It was "What a Wonderful World," which was a hit song for Louis Armstrong in 1968. At the 2012 Academy Awards, it was performed by Grammy winner Esperanza Spalding and the Southern California Children's Chorus.
