To ten.
So I read in the Wall Street Journal. Haven't seen it repeated elsewhere (though I haven't especially looked).
This is a supposed to be a solution to the poor television ratings for the broadcast. Poor being relative, since the record low was over 30 million viewers when No Country for Old Men won. But that's down from over 50 million when Titanic won.
Since most people wanted to know if The Dark Knight (or Wall E) would win, and they weren't even nominated, a lot of people didn't care enough to turn in.
Obviously, the downside is that being nominated will mean less. That's probably not as big a concern as ratings, though.
