The Academy voters change every year.

Sure, maybe indirectly. It was expanded to 10 for ratings, because ratings have been slipping, not because of TDK or Wall-E.

Excellent post. I agree completely. (Except I think longer than 3 years.)

I kinda see your point but from 1936-1943 10 films were nominated. So yeah there has been, what, 65 years of 5 films being nominated, so it's kind of a tradition but going back to 10 isn't really anything new or anything to be surprised at.

No. It started out with three, then went to five for three years, then went to 12 or so and then went to 10 for 7 years before reverting back to 5 and now it's reverting back to 10.

What's wrong with the way the Academy has been voting? Have you not seen any of those movies? They are all great films.

Slumdog Millionaire was junk. Any film is better than that one.

He's fine thanks for asking. To be honest though we had a falling out. He thinks because he is invisible he doesn't have to pay his share of the rent, leaving me to foot all the bills. Trying times I tell's ya.
