I personally don’t like the extension of Best Picture nominees from 5 to “at most 10”, eventhough I still think Dark Knight/Wall-E was wrongfully snubbed for the dreadful The Reader back in 2008.
So let’s pretend we didn’t have this non-sense, for the last three ceremony who do you think would have made the final 5 (with a ranking of the votes they received) ? Would they just correlate with the best director categories? What would you have liked to see as the final five out of the 9 – 10 nominees? Also, what about this year out of all the contenders?
IMO
2009:
The Hurt LockerAvatarInglourious BasterdsUp in the Air Precious
2010:
The King’s SpeechThe Social NetworkInceptionThe FighterBlack Swan
2011:
The ArtistHugoThe DescendentsMoney Ball Tree of Life
2012 (perhaps):
ArgoZero Dark 30 LincolnSilver Linings Play BookLes Miserables
(Pook is going to hate me, but I think Argo will pull off a win) I still haven’t seen Zero Dark 30 out of the list.

There is no way in a million years that Life of Pi was missing even with 5. It was a beloved film that won Director.
