The answer to why most things change is money. So let's work back from there; How do you get more revenue from selling ads during the oscar show? Get

more stars on the red carpet. How do you do that? Nominate 10 films for best pic. You just know that had to come up at some point.

Responses:

I still think Will's theory is superior to this one. There's far more money for all involved parties in billing films as oscar-nominated ... - Beryllium Jun 24, 10:46
It's all about the ratings, imo. The difference between last year's Oscars and Titanic's year is huge. -- nm - Inigo Jun 24, 10:45 9
- And that'll change by #6-10 how? - Will Hunting Jun 24, 10:48 3
  - Because filmslike Dark Knight, Iron Man, Up are now more likely to be nominated. - Inigo Jun 24, 10:51
  - more likely *your* favourite film will be nominated. also, less likely to be a 'oh, XXXXXX is going to win anyway" feeling. - Andie Jun 24, 10:49

- yes. *ding* -- nm - Diva Jun 24, 10:47 4
  - *high five* i think the fault a lot of people are making is assuming the Academy is doing this for the film industry as a whole. - Inigo Jun 24, 10:50 3
    - but, the Academy members ARE the industry, so it does effect them personally. -- nm - Andie Jun 24, 10:51 2
      - The voters, yes. The people who work for the Academy - the business - needs to serve the show first and foremost. -- nm - Inigo Jun 24, 10:52 1
        
        Don't they get royalties on every DVD that says "Nominated for Best Picture"? -- nm - Beryllium Jun 24, 10:53
nominated or not, what big star doesn't already go? -- nm - mafic Jun 24, 10:44 1
- the ones that don't get invited? -- nm - loosilu Jun 24, 10:47
it's more for industry exposure, I think. "How do we get people to watch more films in the winter months?" -- nm - znufrii Jun 24, 10:44
Like there's a shortage of big stars at the event. - Will Hunting Jun 24, 10:43 6
- I remember some years when Jolie, Pitt, diCaprio wasn't there. -- nm - Loyola Jun 24, 10:44 5
  - I remember dicaprio discussing not going because *he* wasn't nominated for titanic. don't remember if he showed up that year though. -- nm - mafic Jun 24, 10:50
  - *shrug* If they want stars, they nominate them. Jolie for Changeling, Pitt for Button. - Will Hunting Jun 24, 10:46 3
    - Exactly. They want stars. So they're going to nominate them. And the way they seem to be going about it is increasing the best pic noms to 10. -- nm - Loyola Jun 24, 10:48 1
      - If they want stars, they increase the nominations for acting. - Will Hunting Jun 24, 10:49
    - well, the academy doesn't really get to make that call (nominations), but they can make them presenters. -- nm - Andie Jun 24, 10:48
