also..are there more than usual best movie nominees...sure seems like a lot!

[Vortexfugue]

Last year the rule was changed to have 10 best picture nominees, and this year it was changed to have up to 10 best picture nominees but a best picture nominee must get at least 5% of first place votes on the nominee ballots.. and so there are 9 this year. :)
