But Hollywood also released many more films each year back then, so ten nominees could still be the cream of the crop. You can't necessarliy make that case now.Samuel Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00934870299522899944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9149411832127844385.post-24477909099623670492009-06-25T01:49:36.931-04:002009-06-25T01:49:36.931-04:00I think this is a bad idea because it basically ch...I think this is a bad idea because it basically cheapens the honor of being nominated, doesn't it?

We've had years when the director of a Best Picture nominee doesn't get nominated in his own category, and now we're guaranteed more of the same every year. On the other hand, we're less likely to see someone nominated for Director for something other than a Best Picture nominee, but you never know.Samuel Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00934870299522899944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9149411832127844385.post-45818731081169469172009-06-24T18:58:33.415-04:002009-06-24T18:58:33.415-04:00My question would be seeing as though there will b...My question would be seeing as though there will be 10 movies nominated, would that mean 10 directors will be nominated?
