hmmm, I wonder how that will affect the outcome of the best picture winner.
You know I used to watch it all the time but the past few years I've only caught bits and pieces. It just hasn't interested me that much.
It seems like there's a lot more smaller films that get nominations that aren't even widely released, or are released right before the awards so most of the public doesn't get a chance to see them before the show. This has always bugged me. I wish they would release them earlier throughout the year. I think that may be what's playing a bigger part in the decline of the audience. Also I know I've said this in the past, but I really think that the academy has their favorites. And those always seem to get nominated regardless of the film their in. I'd like to see more variably in those nominated.
