Yeah, it always just made more sense to me too that 10 was a good number. I'm not that much of a fan of the 5 film scenario, as I think enough very good or better films are released every year to warrant 10 nominees and some of those films have a far lower chance of making the cut with five. A fair few inspired or perhaps uninspired but still worthy nominees from the last decade would not have gotten in without the expansion, and a round 10 just works.

Most of the BP lineups pre 2009 are insanely boring and even though 10 nominees is technically less “inclusive” I don’t think the average overall quality of the films drops with more nominees and more genres get a chance. |

Thank God. Having 7-9 nominees felt so arbitrary and weird, and I think having 10 nominees is better than 5: it paints a broader, more complete picture of what the landscape for movies was in a given year.

It's the more genres getting a chance that's the most important thing to me. Especially as the more of the these non traditional so called 'oscar bait' films get in, the more that becomes the easier norm to achieve. Look at 2019, you had a fine mix of the more traditional nominee and the not so much, and I can honestly say it's my personal favourite best picture line-up, from which I have seen all the films. Hopefully a sign of things to come. |

Finally! A set number of nominees was always the best option. More opportunity for interesting films to get nominated. Toy Story 3 and Up were nominated when we had 10 nominees.
We need to make a poll to see what films would have filled out the remaining 10 for the past decade (if we haven't done that already).
