If they really want to make changes at who and what is nominated, why not start with the many questionable choices and pity-nominations the Academy has doled out over the years.

Forrest Gump winning Best Picture over Pulp Fiction
Shakespeare in Love winning Best Picture over Saving Private Ryan
Stanley Kubrick never winning anything, none of his films ever being nominated for Best Picture
Francis Ford Coppola not winning Best Director for The Godfather
Crash winning Best Picture over Brokeback Mountain and Munich

Those are the real tragedies. Fix the system, the rest will follow.
