It looks like finally they understand that drama movies are not always the best, and they have done a very important change: instead of five nominees, from next year there are going to be ten.
There is more than one change. According of what the president said lots of movies couldn’t be nominee to this category because they weren’t drama, but yes very good films, as “Wall-E” or “The Dark Knight”. So from this right moment animation films, drama, comedy and movies of not English speaker are going to be included in Best Feature Film.
It is a great progress that shows us the awards don’t want to be lost in time. In fact, this is not the Academy first change. “Shrek” in 2001, put a new category in the Oscars: Best Animation Film. Yet in 1999 when the most emotive change had made it: change “the winner is” to “the Oscar is for”. Michael Caine was who showed us the importance of the new sentence when he won the award for “The Cider House Rules”.
Many other changes has happened in the Oscars long history, but the most important right now is that all the movies, no matter where they’re form, compete against theme to decide which are the best one.
