Should The Game Awards up GOTY to 10 nominees?

In 2009, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced that it would expand the Oscar category for Best Picture from five to 10 nominees. Most observers interpreted the move as an attempt to broaden the types of films nominated, and thus the appeal of the Oscars themselves. There had been much discussion of the failure to nominate Christopher Nolan’s acclaimed Batman blockbuster The Dark Knight from the previous year, and whether the Oscars was risking cultural irrelevance by appearing to favor arthouse fare over popular cinema. Expanding the field to 10 films might save some embarrassment without requiring the Academy’s voting body to change its taste wholesale.
