10 movies race for Best Picture at Oscars in 2010

The Academy Awards have decided to allow more movies to contest for the prestigious Best Picture title at the Oscars next year. As a result, there will as many as 10 nominations in that category for 2010, twice the number previously allowed.



Sid Ganis, president of the Academy Awards said that the move was a lookback to the past when larger number of films were nominated in the race for Best Picture. At a media conference on Wednesday, Ganis was spotted with a poster that listed ten movies nominated for the Best Picture category in 1939. "Suppose you had to narrow that field down to five nominees? Which of these films would you keep? Whichever five movies you selected, you'd be losing five extraordinary films," he asked the media.



The new move for nominating 10 movies is being done for the first time since 1943.
