The nominees look like the picks of an older generation.

Five was the standard back then, but I'm not sure how I'd even narrow this down to five. Amazing year for movies and the Oscars were there for none of it. (I do like
The Lion in Winter
, though and this version of
Romeo and Juliet
was quite memorable for two reasons 😅.)

I don't understand why they only allowed a few nominees.
