I know there are more than 10 good movies each year, but I don't know if I could easily list 10 movies that should've been nominated last year, or the year before.

5 was plenty. Drop The Reader and add Doubt, and there you go. 5 worked well.

This was what APMAS was doing before, they had a shortlist and then the five nominees were voted on, then that list were the "official nominees" which were voted on for Best Picture.
