Dan over at The Eighth Samurai has a post up highlighting the changes that are being made to the Academy Awards (Oscars), and some of them are pretty significant. The biggest news comes in the Best Picture category, which will extend nominations to ten films for the first time since Casablanca won Best Picture in 1944, and doubling the field of competition for the award. Dan explains why this is a game-changer:
"This will not only give the rightful recognition to those films who deserve more attention but make it an interesting competition. I am very much looking forward to the first Best Picture nomination for a Pixar film going to Up, as well as some other contenders that might have received the shaft were it not for this increase. Films like Away We Go, Watchmen, and the forthcoming Public Enemies, Inglorious Bastards, Where the Wild Things Are, and I am even holding out for Judd Apatow's Funny People."
