Nominations for 2013 Academy Awards (OSCAR) are in!!!
AND THE OSCAR GOES TOOOOOOOO........
This year's Oscar host Seth MacFarlane and actress Emma Stone announce the nominations for the 85th Academy Awards from the Academy's Samuel Goldwyn Theater.
The announcement marks the first time since 1972 that an Oscar show host has participated in the nominations announcement (that year Charlton Heston did the double duty)
Daniel Day-Lewis led the best actor competition for “Lincoln.”
His fellow nominees: Denzel Washington, “Flight”; Hugh Jackman, “Les
Miserables”; Bradley Cooper, “Silver Linings Playbook”; and in the
year’s most unsettling performance, Joaquin Phoenix, “The Master.”
“Silver Linings Playbook” scored in a supporting actor nomination for Robert De Niro
and a supporting actress nod for Jacki Weaver. Other supporting actors
nominated include Christoph Waltz for “Django Unchained”; Philip Seymour
Hoffman, “The Master”; Alan Arkin, “Argo”; and Tommy Lee Jones,”
Lincoln.” All have won Oscars before.
Sally Field received a supporting
actress nomination, hers for “Lincoln.” The competition: Anne Hathaway,
singing her guts out all the way to the podium on Feb. 24 (I’m guessing)
for “Les Miserables”; Helen Hunt for “The Sessions” (more of a leading
role, in fact); and Amy Adams as the Lady Macbeth of the action in “The
Master.”
It’s a huge showing for “Beasts of the Southern Wild,”
whose director, Benh Zeitlin, goes toe to toe against his fellow
director nominees David O. Russell (“Silver Linings Playbook”), Ang Lee
(“Life of Pi”), Michael Haneke (“Amour”) and Spielberg. Along with
“Zero Dark Thirty” director Bigelow, “Argo” helmer Ben Affleck, widely
expected to be nominated....wasn’t.
