Same five I'm thinking, although I could see Frozen River sneak in over Changeling considering it got 2 key noms to show passionate following. _________________Recent watched movies: American Hustle - B+ Inside Llewyn Davis - B Before Midnight - A 12 Years a Slave - A- The Hunger Games: Catching Fire - A- My thoughts on box office

Re: If there were 10 nominees in previous years...? some of you are thinking way too broad.
The 10 BP noms would look more like NBR's top 10 than anything.

Re: If there were 10 nominees in previous years...? NBR 2007 List
THE ASSASSINATION OF JESSE JAMES, ATONEMENT,THE BOURNE ULTIMATUM (I hate this film), THE BUCKET LIST (Did Reiner bribe someone?), INTO THE WILD, JUNO, THE KITE RUNNER, LARS AND THE REAL GIRL (Good acting, but not BP worthy), MICHAEL CLAYTON (hated this film, but it had BP anyway), SWEENEY TODD (good, not BP worthy).

LOL, no. - Three Oscar noms, among them a leading acting nom. - Eight BAFTA noms, among them best Director (RR got four and VCB got one!) - BFCA Best Picture nom (neither RR nor VCB got one) - Made NBR's Top Ten of the year (RR and VCB both missed) And it also was the biggest grosser of the three. Far from dead, I'd say. _________________The greatest thing on earth is to love and to be loved in return!

Re: If there were 10 nominees in previous years...? Eastwood would get in with The Changeling or Gran Torino. There's no way he would've missed with 10 movies in the mix.
