The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences(AMPAS) has decided once more to modify the number of films that can be nominated for the Oscar for Best Picture.
Instead of maintaining 10 guaranteed nominees, as it has been for the last two years, the academy will permit as few as 5 nominees and as many as 10 in the category. The number will be announced at the same time the Oscar nominations are revealed in January.
The modifications seems designed to eliminate films that are nominated just to fill out a field of 10. A film will now require a minimum of 5% of first-place votes to be chosen for the best picture.
Next year's nominees are scheduled to be announced on January 24th and the ceremony is set for February 26th .
