Double the Stars

Of course not. Most people don?t watch the Oscars because a certain movie has been nominated, the occasional megahit like Titanic or Lord of the Rings aside. They watch for the actors?how they dress, how they take a joke from Billy Crystal, how they feign graciousness when they lose. So if the academy wants to expand something, why not blow out the acting categories? Expanding each one from five to 10 nominees would add 20 stars to the Oscar-night mix. This year, such an expansion would likely have meant the participation of Tilda Swinton, Kirsten Dunst, Charlize Theron, Leonard DiCaprio, Ryan Gosling, Albert Brooks, Vanessa Redgrave, and Carey Mulligan.
