That way in years when there truly are more than five movies that are worthy of being nominated, it is possible. If there just aren't ten movies that are up to par, I don't want to waste my time watching the clips on awards night and degrading the quality of the pool. And as for comedies (or any other nomination-worthy movie that isn't a drama), the Academy should just treat them the same as any other movie. "Best Picture" should truly be the Best Picture of the year. Both changes would make nominations more meaningful.Aimnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-884140371100852305.post-85692035108260765872009-06-25T19:25:54.079-05:002009-06-25T19:25:54.079-05:00Sometimes even the top four or five best pictures ...Sometimes even the top four or five best pictures SUCK.

Although, maybe Oscar could follow the Globes and have a category for best picture - drama, and best picture- musical/comedy. That might be interesting.Emhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03241811069940971926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-884140371100852305.post-44836042756006527402009-06-25T09:43:18.274-05:002009-06-25T09:43:18.274-05:00I agree- leave it alone.
