Oscars To Allow 5 To 10 Best Picture Nominees

Posted by Christian Allaire on June 15th, 2011

The Academy Awards will now allow between five and 10 best picture nominees, reports CTV.

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced yesterday that the number of nominees will be dictated by voting. In order to be nominated, a film will need a minimum of 5 per cent first-place votes.

In 2009, the Oscars expanded the best picture nominees from 5 to 10, but now, the number of nominees has been changed again after analyzing the voting from the last two years.

Retiring Academy executive director Bruce Davis recommended the change, saying:

“In studying the data, what stood out was that Academy members had regularly shown a strong admiration for more than five movies,” said Davis. “A best picture nomination should be an indication of extraordinary merit. If there are only eight pictures that truly earn that honor in a given year, we shouldn’t feel an obligation to round out the number.”

The unknown number of nominees will add a new sense of mystery to the awards too, as filmmakers don’t know how many spots they are vying for. The nominations for the 84th annual Academy Awards will be announced January 24.

I personally think 10 was too much, so I like this idea. Nominate as many movies that deserve it, not just because they need 10 spots. Hopefully this means the award show will be shorter, too, as less people are nominated.

Heidi Klum Wants To Change Her Name

Posted by Emma Renda on October 6th, 2009

Heidi KlumI didn’t even know Seal had a last name, but apparently his wife Heidi Klum wants to adopt it as her own, according to TMZ.

After a four-year marriage, Klum submitted her request to the L.A. County Superior Court to change her surname to Samuel, making her Mrs. Seal Henry Olusegun Olumide Adelo Samuel-Klum.

It doesn’t have quite the same ring. The decision has not yet been signed, but will be officially revealed on Nov. 20.

This is the most serious Klum has ever gotten about a hubbie. In 1997, she married stylist Ric Pipino but they divorced in 2002. One year later, Klum was pregnant with the child of boyfriend Flavio Briatore. But the day she released the news of their lovechild, Briatore was caught on camera kissing Fiona Swarovski, the jewellery heiress.
