- Because filmslike Dark Knight, Iron Man, Up are now more likely to be nominated. - Inigo Jun 24, 10:51

- *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
