Last month it was reported the Academy were planning on introducing online voting.<\/div>\n

Next year\u2019s best picture category at the Academy Awards will involve a \u201cnew twist\u201d, organisers have announced. The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences have voted for a new system which will now produce anywhere between five and 10 nominees in the category.  The number of films that will compete will not be revealed until full nominations are announced in January. In a statement, the Academy said the system would introduce a \u201cnew element of surprise\u201d to the award show. Academy bosses said they studied the voting patterns from previous years. \u201cWhat stood out was that Academy members had regularly shown a strong admiration for more than five movies,\u201d said executive director Bruce Davis. \u201cA Best Picture nomination should be an indication of extraordinary merit.  \u201cIf there are only eight pictures that truly earn that honour in a given year, we shouldn\u2019t feel an obligation to round out the number.\u201d If the new system had been in effect from 2001 to 2008, before the best film category was expanded to allow 10 film nominations, there would have been years that yielded between five and nine nominees.  Last month it was reported that the Academy were planning on replacing its mailed ballot system with online voting. <\/p>\n
