The 85th Annual Academy Awards Nominations Are In! Check Out The Full List!
Earlier today, the talented dup of Seth Macfarlane and Emma Stone announced all the nominees of the 85th Annual Academy Awards.
Unsurprisingly, Stephen Spielberg’s Lincoln leads the pack with 12 nominations, and Life of Pi (which was on of Jonathan’s favourite films this year) trails close behind with 11. Somehow, Silver Linings Playbook was nominated for 7 awards, as was the wonderful Les Misérables.
There’s over a month to go until the ceremony airs (on February 24th, to be exact), so you’ve got plenty of time to see them all and decide for yourself, what were the best films of 2012?

That’s it! Where do you agree? Where do you disagree? Who do you think should win?
After reading, I just have a few questions:
1.Where the hell is this guy’s name (pictured above) under ‘Directing’?
2. Was Silver Linings Playbook really that good?
3. Where was Prometheus under ‘Best Picture’? Okay… that one’s a joke.
