The Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences announced this week that they will be expanding the number of Best Picture nominees for the Oscars from five to ten films, starting next year. From 1932 to 1943, the Best Picture category used to feature a wider field of nominees, ranging from eight to twelve films, so the Academy is touting this as both a return to the past and a way to get more viewers interested in the show. And they're not going to stop there...
