Nominations for the 82nd Annual Academy Awards will be announced today. But this year, the folks at the Academy are shaking things up a little. 10 movies, instead of the usual 5, will be nominated in the Best Picture category.
The last time this happened was in 1943 when "Casablanca" took home the hardware.
Some say this gives genres that have typically been sidelined, like comedies and animated movies, a fair chance at the big prize. It probably won't hurt the TV ratings either. Oscar has more eyeballs on him when a major commercial hit is nominated.
Whatever the reason, most critics agree this year's major box office hit "Avatar" will make the cut, along with "Up in the Air", "Hurt Locker" and "Invictus".
Some say the expanded list might also allow for the animated movie "Up" and sci-fi hits "Star Trek" and "District 9" a shot at Oscar glory.
You can see the full list once it has been released here.
But while you wait for the best of the year, you can check out the worst of the year.
This years Razzie nominations are already out. Sandra Bullock who is expected to get an Oscar nod for her role in "The Blind Side", is also up for a Razzie for "All About Steve".
Could she be the best and worst actress of the year at the same time?

Technology and gadget fans will finally get the answer today.
Apple will reveal its "latest creations" at a press event in San Francisco.
Speculation is, the widely anticipated Apple tablet will be among them.
Like the iPhone and the iPod before it - the announcement of the new product has been shrouded in mystery.
We know Apple has been in talks with the New York Times, NewsCorp and other media companies.
So the tablet is likely to have an e-reader component to access books, newspapers and magazines.
That has the New York Times guessing at whether it could help save the print industry.
Traditional media outlets have been struggling with how to make money with their online content.
The Guardian says - from home entertainment to gaming - the device could change the way we do just about everything.
One thing's for sure - it's going to be pretty and everyone is going to want one.

It's a debate that's been raging in France for years.
Last summer French President Nicholas Sarkozy said "The burqa is not welcome in France".
That lead to an inquiry into whether women in France should be allowed to wear the traditional Muslim covering.
Today the results of that investigation are out. It's a controversial and complex story, and Genevieve Oger will break it down for us on the show.

An Ipsos poll for Le Point magazine claims 57 per cent of French people support banning the burqa.
But many in the French Muslim community say that will alienate Muslims and violates civil rights. Incidentally, there is at least one Imam in France who actually supports the ban. He argues the covering has no basis in Islam.
France has traditionally upheld the separation of faith and state. But The Economist predicts lawmakers will face criticism from the global community if the ban is enforced.
