You can now watch the nominations LIVE by using the video below and later on we will post all the nominations.
Academy Awards for outstanding film achievements of 2012 will be presented on Oscar Sunday, February 24, 2013, at the Dolby Theatre™ at Hollywood & Highland Center®, and televised live on the ABC Television Network. The Oscar presentation also will be televised live in more than 225 countries worldwide.
“Lincoln,” director Steven Spielberg’s film about the 16th president and his battle to end slavery, topped the nominations for the 85th Academy Awards on Thursday, receiving 12 nods, including best picture.
“Life of Pi” was second with 11 nominations, including best picture, best director (Ang Lee) and best adapted screenplay.
As usual, there were a handful of surprises. The most notable, perhaps, was “Beasts of the Southern Wild.” Its 9-year-old star, Quvenzhane Wallis, earned a nomination for best actress, becoming the youngest person ever in that category. In addition, the film was nominated for best picture, best director (Benh Zeitlin) and best adapted screenplay — four nominations in all.
Also with surprises was “Silver Linings Playbook” earning four major nominations, Picture, Actor, Actress, Director.
Then of course you have the folks that didn’t get nominated like for directing…Ben Affleck, Tom Hooper, Quentin Tarantino nor Kathryn Bigelow.
