Academy Award nominations announced
Martin Scorsese's Paris adventure Hugo leads the Academy Awards with 11 nominations, among them best picture and the latest director slot for the Oscar-winning filmmaker.
The Artist ran second with 10 nominations, including one for Best Picture
Also nominated for best picture: The Descendants, Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close, The Help, Midnight in Paris, Moneyball, The Tree of Life, and War Horse.
The best actor nominees are George Clooney for The Descendants; Gary Oldman for Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy; Brad Pitt for Moneyball; Jean DuJardin for The Artist; and Demian Bichir for A Better Life. Bichir's nomination all but came out of nowhere, as his film has not been widely seen. [Ed. note: Where's Leonardo DiCaprio's nod?!]
The best actress nominees are: Glenn Close for Albert Nobbs; Viola Davis for The Help; Rooney Mara for The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo; Meryl Streep for The Iron Lady; and Michelle Williams for My Week with Marilyn.
