The voting system, which will determine the winner of the best picture at this year's Oscars is being changed, it has been announced. The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences said preferential voting will now be used to tally the final vote for the award. Voters will be asked to rank nominees in order of preference from 1 to 10. In all other categories, the victory goes to the performer who earns the most votes. The new system for tallying vote for best picture is the same preferential voting system that the Academy uses in its nominating process. However, this is the first time it has been introduced for best picture voting since 1945. The voting process has been adapted to accommodate the new picture shortlist, which has been increased to allow 10 films into the category, instead of five. This will enable the members to indicate their second, third and further preferences as well. The 82nd Academy Awards nominations will be announced on February 02, at the Academy's Samuel Goldwyn Theater. Reference by Dunya News.
