Lincoln received the most nominations with 12, including best film and best director, for Steven Spielberg. The shipwreck story “Life of Pi” surprisingly ran second with 11 nominations, including Best Film and Best Director for Ang Lee.
Emma Stone and Seth MacFarlane will host the 85th Academy Awards on February 24. The Golden Globes show, which opens the award season this Sunday, will be hosted by the comedy duo of Tina Fey and Amy Pollard.
