The nominees for the 85th Academy Awards were announced during the highly-anticipated announcement ceremony on Thursday, January 10, at the Samuel Goldwyn Theater by Seth MacFarlane, host of the 85th Academy Awards, and actress Emma Stone.
The film “Lincoln” received the most nominations, with twelve, followed by “Life of Pi,” which has 11 nominations. These two films are considered the frontrunners for Best Picture in the 85th Academy Awards, although other nominees like the films “Argo,” “Zero Dark Thirty” “Silver Linings Playbook,” and “Les Miserables” can make an upset.
The 85-year-old Emmanuelle Riva became the oldest actress ever to have been nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actress. Her movie “Amour” is both nominated in Best Picture and Best Foreign Language Film categories. On the other hand, Ben Affleck was snubbed in the Best Director category.
