Oscar nominations: Why don't the numbers match up?

Asked by Blueroses (18256points) January 25th, 2011

There are ten Best Picture nominations but only five for each of the other categories; Director, Acting, Technical. How is it possible to have a Best Picture without the other elements?

Doesn’t it seem that every Best Picture should at least have a matching Best Director? Why the discrepancy in the number of nominees?
