Tied Positions: Award will Lose it's Stature vs. The More the Merrier!

Award will Lose it's Stature
With the annual Academy Awards - honoring the best of movies - coming up soon, I figured I needed to know what other people thought about this hot topic. When the awards first started - back in 1927 - there were 10 nominees, and this practice lasted until 1943. Since 1944, the Best Picture category has had 5 nominees, and kept the awards level.
Some people view this decision as good saying it will allow more great films to be nominated and give them a more equal shot at the prize.
Those who do not agree think this expansion will make the prize lose it's stature as "Best" with so many nominees, and that less deserving films may get unfair notoriety or fame.
So, What Do You Think?
