Lincoln leads the pack with 12 nods - get the full list of nominees for the 85th annual Academy Awards
Emma Stone and Seth MacFarlane have just finished announcing the nominees for the 2013 Academy Awards in Los Angeles. The show, hosted by MacFarlane, airs live on February 24th on ABC.
As expected, director Steven Spielberg's drama about the last months of the 16th American president's life, Lincoln, leads the field with 12 Oscar nominations. Ang Lee's "Life of Pi," a fable about a young Indian man trapped at sea for months on a small boat with a tiger, earned 11 Oscar nods. Les Miserables and Silver Linings Playbook are big nominees, along with surprise hit Beasts of the Southern Wild.
No Best Director nominations for Quentin Tarantino or Ben Affleck. The Best Supporting Actress category features both the oldest-ever nominee, 85-year-old Emmanuelle Riva of Amour, and the youngest, nine-year-old Quvenzhane Wallis of Beasts of the Southern Wild. And show host MacFarlane picked up a nod for Best Song, for the lyrics to "Everybody Needs a Best Friend" from Ted.
