In a strange move the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced today that the next Oscars will feature not 5 nominees for best picture, but an astounding 10. One winner will be selected as usual. 

“After more than six decades, the Academy is returning to some of its earlier roots, when a wider field competed for the top award of the year,” said Ganis. “The final outcome, of course, will be the same – one Best Picture winner – but the race to the finish line will feature 10, not just five, great movies from 2009.”

This seems like a strange and desperate attempt to gain more attention. What movies that have come out already this year that you think could possibly land in that top 10?
