10 Oscar Nominees for Best Picture: I Like It!
I read with interest the post by fellow Idol Chatter blogger Kris Rasmussen, as well as several other articles regarding the news from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences that they'll now nominate ten movies for the Best Picture category instead of five. Contrary to what many writers, bloggers, posters and commentators seem to think...I love the idea!For starters, let's consider the most wonderful movies that didn't get nominated for Best Picture in their years: - His Girl Friday (1 [Read more]

Why Ten Oscars are Better Than Five (Plus Five Other Oscar Fixes)
America, or at least the Americans who cover the film industry, were stunned by the out-of-the-blue announcement that the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences would be expanding the number of Best Picture nominees next year, from five to ten. The last time there were ten Best Picture nominees was 1943; apparently, winning the war gave Americans less desire to praise movies? Anyway, some people are crying foul, saying that crummy movies will now get nominated, and that's just dumb. We thi [Read more]

The Best Picture Should Be the Biggest Blockbuster
That exercise underscores just how much the Academy Awards, Hollywood's annual rite of self-congratulation, has become out of step with the movie-going public. When the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences announced on June 24 that it was doubling the number of its Best Picture nominations to 10, I immediately figured it was a reaction to the fact that the Academy's 6,000-odd voters have screwed up more that a few times in recent years. And they have. But the Academy missed an opportunity t [Read more]

Harvey Weinstein Talks About An Inglorious Basterds Prequel
arvey Weinstein is one of the truly larger than life figures in Hollywood. The former head of Miramax is one of the most aggressive self-promoters in the industry. The guy gets at least one movie nominated for Best Picture every year through sheer aggressive marketing. He knows how to launch a prestige picture better than anyone in the business. Unfortunately he’s not quite as good at launching blockbusters and at the moment The Weinstein Company is on the brink of financial disaster if they don [Read more]

Oscars Return to 10 Best Picture Nominees. Today in Film Bloggery
As if this year's Oscars ceremony wasn't abnormal enough, next year's telecast is sure to be even weirder. Today the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences announced that it's increasing the number of Best Picture nominees from five to ten. This isn't a totally odd idea, since the Academy Awards used to nominate ten films for the big prize, but the last time we saw so many candidates was 65 years ago, when Casablanca beat out nine other titles for the win.The first thing that I thought — [Read more]

Philadelphia Daily News Tattle Column
By Howard Gensler, Philadelphia Daily News Jun. 25--The Academy Awards sure has lower standards than People Paper movie critic Gary Thompson. Academy President Sid Ganis said at a news conference yesterday that the academy's board of governors has decided to expand the slate of best-picture nominees from five to 10. Ten?! It's tough enough to think of five. But in a tough economy the move allows more films to proclaim Nominated for Best Picture whether deserving or not. The change takes ef [Read more]

The 2010 Oscar Best Picture Race? What are We In For?
What will be the result of the change? Obviously, this is the big question. It's tough to say if it is a good move or a bad move until we actually see some results. My snap judgment is to say I don't like it because it lessens the value of a Best Picture nomination by half. I remember last year trying to actually put together a list of top ten films and having an extremely hard time doing it. I would argue most years don't actually churn out ten Best Picture caliber films… t [Read more]

Oscar's Big Change: More Movies, Better Show?
Even though I am a film buff, I would be the first to say that the Oscars is slowly but surely marching itself into pop culture obscurity. Yesterday's announcement that the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences will broaden the tent by including ten pictures in the Best Picture category, doubling the category in size, is yet another example of how out of touch with America the Academy really is.According to the trades, the producers of the awards show decided after doing a post-mortem o [Read more]

'The Matrix' To 'The Dark Knight': Oscar Best Picture Near-Misses
Yesterday, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced that the Best Picture category centerpiece at the yearly Oscar awards show will be expanded to include 10 nominees. We MTV Movies Team staffers were not amused.In the wake of the announcement, many accusations surfaced that this move is nothing more than a ratings ploy. For many, the allegations spring from the fact that “The Dark Knight” — a universally regarded hit and currently the fourth-highest grossing f [Read more]

10 Best Picture nominees: How it will affect the Oscars
7) There will be more Best Picture upsets on Oscar night. With the vote split 10 ways instead of five, it’s possible we could see a more wide-open Best Picture race. Could Dreamgirls, Children of Men or Volver have taken 2007’s wide-open race (won by The Departed) if the field had been expanded to 10?Ultimately, the jury’s still out on whether expanding the field will add excitement to the Academy Awards and result in a more-well rounded Best Picture field, or simply dilute the [Read more]

Oscar Times 10? Pros and Cons of the Expanded Best Picture Race
The MPAA have announced they'll nominate 10 rather than five Best Picture nominees next year, and the commentary has flown thick and fast. Each side has a point:Pro: Fans point out that in early years the Oscars frequently named ten or more nominees at a time. The fabled 1939 crop, for example, included Gone With The Wind, The Wizard of Oz, Stagecoach, et alia -- not a dog in the bunch. Con: The fabled 2010 crop will probably include Transformers 2 and The Proposal. Hollywood's not what it was a [Read more]

Oscars expanding to 10 Best Picture nominees
While most people were surprised by the news, insiders call it a shrewd move by an awards show that in recent years has been called irrelevant, out of touch, and snobbish.  Of last year's nominees, only two contenders were box office hits (The Curious Case of Benjamin Button and, to a lesser degree, Slumdog Millionaire) while the other three films (Milk, Frost/Nixon, The Reader) were hardly seen at all.  The expansion of the category means blockbusters, comedies, foreign, and animated films--all [Read more]
