Who do you think would have been in the Top 5 for the Academy if they decided to keep the Best Picture limit at five films in 2009 instead of ten.

Those all sound almost right. I’d only make a few changes. In 2010, True Grit and The Fighter instead of Inception and Toy Story 3. In 2011, Midnight in Paris instead of The Tree of Life. In 2013, Dallas Buyers Club instead of Her. And this year, American Sniper instead of The Theory of Everything.

How do you imagine Wild to get into a five strong Best Picture line up, when it didn’t get into the race when there could have been ten nominees. And Selma getting into the top five, with no love elsewhere, except for a nod as Best Song?
