The Chunnel: "J'y vais."

The 82nd Academy Awards nominees:

It’s Oscars season, and the Academy is releasing the first top 10 list for Best Picture.

According to the Associated Press, Oscar organizers decided last summer to double the best-picture field to 10 movies, saying they felt there were more than five worthy contenders.

The expanded best-picture category caught Hollywood by surprise, with filmmakers, actors, studio executives and others divided over the idea. Some say it opens the Oscars up to a broader range of films, others think it might allow lesser movies to sneak into the best-picture competition.
