Should the acting nominees' number be expanded to 10?
In 2009, it was decided that the number of Best Picture nominees would be expanded to 10 (or close to 10), after the huge criticism the Academy faced when The Dark Knight (2008) (and to a lesser extent WALL·E (2008)) was left out from the Best Picture nominations, despite being one of the most popular, successful and critically acclaimed movies of the year.
Indeed, The Dark Knight (2008) didn't just change the face of IMDb Top 10 movies forever, it also changed the rules of the Academy.
Now, 2015 is a pretty competitive year in terms of acting performances, to the point that many of them have been put in the supporting categories, although they were leading ones, and the supporting categories were already full of strong contenders.
The question is asked to all of you, movie fans: in order to avoid these 'category frauds' or any upsetting snub from happening, or at least decrease the risks, should the Academy expand the number of nominees in the acting categories to 10?
Which of these options comes the closest to your opinion?

PS: of course, the question can be asked for the other categories (directing, screenwriting...) but since acting generates the most passionate debates, and the highest numbers of potential contenders (after all, we talk about stars and their fans) so let's just stick to acting for this poll.
