I voted for one rescue per year only, because any fewer and the strategy is reduced dramatically. But I'll certainly live with whatever decision is made, ultimately.
However, I also wonder what people might think of some kind of limitation on the number of replacements (for example, no more than 2 per turn per player)? It would actually add another dimension of strategy as players whose favorite films were not awarded nominations would have to sort through available nominations that they didn't find so distasteful to preserve or rescue. It would also almost certainly decrease the overall level of replacement in the results, which would be a benefit or a demerit of the idea, depending on your point of view. I wonder if it might be a compromise we all could live with.

I prefer 1 rescue; it gives the game an element of challenge--do I rescue such-and-such or do I preserve such-and-such which might be eliminated by another player? It keeps us on the edge of our seats, as it were.

That is indeed the question. I am putting this to a separate poll to allow those who feel they will be attacked for their opinions and option to make them known without fear of retaliation or retribution.
