However i think theres value in academy members seeing movies that arent eligible as well. The goal is to pick the best, more knowledge can only help.

Awesome letter...hope people read it Bleachigo Feb 26, 11:51

The foreign language committee has a stronger track record of diversity then the larger academy {nm} Moviesnob Feb 26, 13:49

"As a member of the Academy, you have a singular obligation to watch every film in the categories for which you vote."(...) RamsFan2004 Feb 26, 11:47

honestly, i think they should watch 100 movies a year to be eligible to vote. They are the arbiters of merit in this film, they need Moviesnob Feb 26, 11:59

Well put "2 movies a week" ...even 3 per week doesn't seem like a lot to ask for the privilege to vote Bleachigo Feb 26, 12:15

These guys aren't mainlining movies because they're movie buffs... the academy members just enjoy being in the club. {nm} RamsFan2004 Feb 26, 12:24

some, but most think they are movie buffs. they just are lazy {nm} Moviesnob Feb 26, 12:52

How many would FYC films are there each year...just a rough guess? {nm} Bleachigo Feb 26, 12:58

In a sea of stuff that, though interesting and relevant, has gotten tiresome, here is a question that I am interested in. {nm} VicMackeyYTD Feb 26, 13:22

305 films were eligible for Oscar this year. {nm} Antibody Feb 26, 13:32

Are academy members able to vote in all categories..for instance can actors vote on technical categories? And vise versa? {nm} Bleachigo Feb 26, 15:39

They just like having their say, not necessarily finding out what the 'best picture' actually is {nm} RamsFan2004 Feb 26, 12:25

57 movies were nominated this years, x 2 is a good approximation. {nm} Antibody Feb 26, 13:31
