Expand the Number of Oscar Nominees for Best Makeup & Hairstyling

In 1981, the Academy Awards established a new competitive category for makeup. Most of the time, there's only three nominees. I think it's about time that the Academy expands the number of films nominated for Best Makeup & Hairstyling from three to five.

I have no idea why there's only three nominees for Best Makeup & Hairstyling instead of (at least) five for most of the other categories. Imagine all the worthy candidates that could've made it in if there were five nominees like American Hustle, Black Mass, Cloud Atlas, The Danish Girl, Deadpool, Hugo, Into the Woods, It, Jackie, Lincoln, My Week with Marilyn, etc.
