Previously it'd be any amount between 7 to 9 based on some balloting system. The only previous years where there has been 10 set nominees are 2009 and 2010, which brought some of the most inspired best pic nominees . fabulous news and a great decision! <3 the academy are also making plans to increase diversity & make a more inclusive Oscar race <3

It should just be a perfect 10 anyway! It's a nice, round number!

The owls are not what they seem Pronouns: He/him Joined: 11 July 2009 Posts: 37,105 User: 9,232	That's great news, I agree the 2009 and 2010 Best Picture nominations stand out as being a lot more diverse than sets since so hopefully that can continue. I don't know how they're gonna manage it for 2021 though, will there even be ten films to judge overall?

All the movies that get Oscar nominated are usually released in the US from about September - End of November, beginning Dec! Whether any of those contenders get pushed back due to the blockbusters being pushed back, I don't know I imagine Tenet will be the first major contender for the pictures this year! Although I'd LOVE for 'The Invisible Man' to get a look in!

thanks for being a sarcy lil bitch Joined: 25 September 2007 Posts: 79,269 User: 4,397	white people are so triggered at the new requirements lmao. THEY ARE TAKING AWAY WHITE PEOPLE'S OSCAR RIGHTS DIVERSITY DOESN'T MEAN CHANGE IN QUALITY. It's so much harder for POC to get into the industry. And it's not like they are banning all movies from being all-white lmao. This is one measly category. People are acting like it's the end of the world. But that's white folks for ya
