Announced early this morning by "Rush" star Chris Hemsworth, the Oscar nominations are a mix of expected names and a few surprises. Steve McQueen's "12 Years a Slave" is nominated 9 times, including a Best Supporting Actress nomination for red-hot Lupita Nyong'o, and many other Golden Globe nominees are also present on the Oscar nominations list. One notable surprise is the nomination of Leonardo DiCaprio, who hasn't been nominated for Best Actor since 2007 for "Blood Diamond." Perhaps his Golden Globe win helped seal the deal. He has never won an Academy Award.
The complete list of nominees is below.
Be sure to tune into the live Oscars ceremony, which airs Sunday, March 2 at 7 p.m. EST/4 p.m. PST, and will be hosted by comedienne and TV host Ellen DeGeneres. And, of course, stay glued to Moviefone for your complete Academy Awards coverage.
