Putting an emphasis on quality rather than quantity, the Academy Awards shook up the best picture category again.
The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced late Tuesday night that it had approved a change in the nomination process that will allow between five and 10 best picture nominees. On the recommendation of its Board of Governors, the number of the category's nominees will be dictated by the voting.
A film will need a minimum of 5 percent first-place votes to be nominated for best picture.
The Academy said the change came after analyzing the voting from the last two years. In 2009, the Oscars expanded the best picture field from five nominees to 10.
