The Academy announced the nominations for the 84th annual Academy Awards on Tuesday.
The 2012 Oscar nominees were announced on this morning, and while the front runners all got their nods, there a number of surprises and snubs, as well.
The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences paid homage Tuesday morning to the early days of cinema by bestowing the lion's share of Oscar nominations on two films that are valentines to the early days of cinema.
"Hugo," Martin Scorsese's heartfelt love letter to filmmaking, earned the most nominations with 11, including best picture, best director and best screenplay as well as several technical Oscars. "The Artist," the low-budget black-and-white silent movie that offers a glimpse of Hollywood during its transition to the "talkies" earned 10 nominations, including nods for best picture, best director, screenplay, actor and supporting actress.
The Artist with 10 nods for Hollywood’s top cinema awards.
The third most nominations went to baseball movie Moneyball starring Brad Pitt and veteran director Steven Spielberg’s equine epic War Horse, which each got six nods.
