Next year's Oscars will have 10 best picture nominations

Should make for a somewhat more interesting field of nominees. The more fan-favorite Dark Knight type movies have a much better chance of getting a nomination now.

Will there be ten movies worthy of nominations, though?

Some years, even recent years, there have been 5 or so movies that were nomination worthy that weren't nominated. Or there could be some filler nominees like The Reader was this year. The press conference did say that there could be a documentary or animated film that gets a Best Picture nomination, though.

This really won't change a thing with who wins the best movie....just gives 5 more movies a little caption for the poster/DVD/Blu Ray cover that says that the movie was nominated for Best Film at the Academy Awards.

I disagree. This DOES have the potential to change who wins best picture, becuase it spreads the votes thinner. If the votes split enough, an upset win is entirely possible.
