Oscars Double Best Picture Field

June 25, 2009 by Michael Hickerson   || Category: Film News

The Acadamy Awards are making a change.

Academy president Sid Ganis announced Wednesday that the Best Picture finalists will double from five to ten nominees next year.  Ganis said the move would give voters more of a choice and would invigorate the competition.

This will be the first time that ten pictures have been in contention for Best Picture since 1943, according to USA Today.
