Watch the nominations for the 85th Academy Awards live from Hollywood's Dolby Theatre. Host Seth MacFarlane will announce the nominations from around 1.30pm GMT, along with Emma Stone.
The nominations for the 2013 Academy Awards will be announced January 10, 2013, Thursday morning at precisely 5:38 a.m. and 30 seconds (yes, it's that precise). You can watch Seth MacFarlane and Emma Stone announce the Oscar nominations live above.
The 85th Academy Awards ceremony is an upcoming event during which the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS) will present its annual Academy Awards to honor the best films of 2012 in the United States. The ceremony is scheduled for February 24, 2013, at the Dolby Theatre in the Hollywood district of Los Angeles, California. Seth MacFarlane will host the Academy Awards for the first time. Producers Craig Zadan and Neil Meron said that the show will pay tribute to the 50th anniversary of the James Bond film series.
The event at the Samuel Goldwyn Theater in Beverly Hills will contain a bit of Oscar trivia in its own right, in that MacFarlane will become only the second telecast host to also announce the nominations. The first, Charlton Heston, did so in 1972.
Unlike past years when front-runners were synonymous with obscurity, strong box-office performers such as "Argo," "Lincoln," “Les Misérables” and “Life of Pi” are poised for best picture nominations at the 85th Academy Awards.
The nominees for the 85th Academy Awards were announced on January 10, 2013, at 5:30 a.m. PST (13:30 UTC) (8:30 a.m. EST) at the Samuel Goldwyn Theater in Beverly Hills, California, by Seth McFarlane, host of the 85th annual Academy Awards, and the actress Emma Stone. This marks the first time since 1972 that the ceremony's host has co-announced the nominations for the Academy Awards (hosted by Charlton Heston that year).
Films receiving the most nominations were Lincoln with twelve, followed by Life of Pi with eleven
