It's worth noting that the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences [[http://www.moviecitynews.com/Notepad/2009/090624_pr.htm announced]] that starting with the 2010 ceremony (honoring the films of 2009) the Best Picture category would be expanded to include ''ten'' nominees instead of the long-traditional five. [[http://rogerebert.suntimes.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20090624/OSCARS/906249995 This Roger Ebert piece]] wonders if successful films that don't conform to Oscar Bait will find a place at the table again this way. This appears to have come true, as the 2010 ceremony's best picture category included the likes of ''Film/{{Avatar}}'', ''Film/{{District 9}}'', ''InglouriousBasterds'' and ''WesternAnimation/{{Up}}''. However, the winner was [[TheHurtLocker a war drama]] that nobody actually saw (being an arthouse limited release in the middle of the [[SummerBlockbuster summer]] and all). In 2011, the winner was ''TheKingsSpeech'' --a historical biopic about a soon to be king struggling against a speech impediment-- winning for Best Picture and Best Director, which subsequently did very good sustained box office business with the general public.
