Complete list of 86th Annual Academy Award nominations
After weeks of heightened speculation — which reached a fever pitch after the Golden Globe Awards were handed out on Sunday — the complete list of 86th Annual Academy Award nominations has been announced!
The announcements began shortly before 5:40 a.m. PST. Chris Hemsworth and Academy President Cheryl Boone took turns revealing the candidates.
12 Years a Slave, American Hustle, Gravity and Captain Phillips are the most-nominated films. Although those films seem to be 2013’s most acclaimed, nine movies are up for Best Picture. That’s truly a testament to this year’s strong field: After fine-tuning the Best Picture category in recent years, the Academy has decided to nominate a minimum of five films and a maximum of 10, depending on what’s deemed worthy.
The fields are also packed for the Best Actor/Actress categories. In fact, competition is so fierce that Tom Hanks was snubbed for his performance in Captain Phillips. (Thankfully, Tom’s limo driver-turned-actor co-star, Barkhad Abdi, earned a nomination!)
