10 Movies That Should Have Gotten Oscar Nominations in a Bigger Field
The news that the Best Picture category at the Oscars will now include 10 nominees instead of five got me thinking: What movies from the past would I have included in the list of nominees if there were enough slots? I've gone back to 1999 and worked my way up to 2008, choosing titles that I think were worthy of a nod if this rule had existed back then. What would you have wanted to nominate, if that had been an option?
Best Picture Category to Include 10 Nominees at Next Oscars
For the first time since 1943, the Best Picture category at the Academy Awards will include 10 nominees instead of five. Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences President Sid Ganis made the announcement today, and assured us that the outcome — just one Best Picture winner — will still be the same.
Ganis commented, "Having 10 Best Picture nominees is going allow Academy voters to recognize and include some of the fantastic movies that often show up in the other Oscar categories, but have been squeezed out of the race for the top prize."
Should Wall-E Be Nominated for Best Picture?
Wall-E has been showered with praise from critics and audiences alike. These kinds of accolades haven't really been heard since, say, There Will Be Blood, or I dunno, Juno — both of which were nominated for Best Picture at the Oscars this year.
Now there's a a campaign afoot to get Wall-E out of the Best Animated Film category and into competition with the big guns.

Alec Baldwin and Steve Martin to Host the Oscars — Together!
Earlier today I was sad to hear that Robert Downey Jr. and Ben Stiller had turned down an offer to host the Oscars together, but the biggest awards show of the year has landed an equally hilarious duo: Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin! The comedians will team up to take over for Hugh Jackman, and I'm already giddy thinking about the high jinks that will ensue. I love that we're getting two well-seasoned vets in the humor department (a la Billy Crystal), and we've already seen how great these guys are together after Steve's guest appearance on 30 Rock last season.
