As you've no doubt heard by now, THR is
reporting that a "significant faction" within the
Academy (however many that ambiguous number may be) is pushing for
the Best Picture category to be reduced back down to five nominees.
The board of governors will give the issue serious consideration during their annual meeting at the end of March. It's entirely possibly that before the end of the month, the 2016 Oscar race will be thrown for its first big loop.

For starters, I truly believe it
behoves no one to get all worked up about this potential decision
before it's even made. There are valid arguments to be made for
either side of the fence on which the board of governors may fall,
but there are also facile arguments that hold no water. My own
opinion on the matter is a bit complicated, but it helps to go back
six years ago to when this all began.
Was this the TSN Turning Point for AMPAS?
