Lincoln Picks Up 12 Oscar Nominations
The nominations for the 85th Academy Awards have been announced and Lincoln leads the way, picking up a whopping 12 nominations, including nods for Steven Spielberg’s direction and Daniel Day-Lewis’s grandstanding performance as honest Abe.
Life of Pi wasn’t far behind, Ang Lee’s magical adaptation of Yann Martel’s bestselling book managing 11 nominations.
Both films make the Best Picture category, alongside Beasts of the Southern Wild, Silver Linings Playbook, Zero Dark Thirty, Lincoln, Les Miserables, Life of Pi, Amour, Django Unchained and Argo.
But there was no place for the hotly tipped Skyfall in any of the major categories. Instead it picked up nominations for cinematography, music, sound mixing, sound editing and song, for Adele’s monster hit. And Bond shouldn’t be too blue, as the Academy is also paying tribute to the character on this, his 50th screen birthday.

Lawmakers accuse CIA of misleading 'Zero Dark Thirty' filmmakers
Lawmakers accused the CIA of misleading the makers of the Usama bin Laden raid film “Zero Dark Thirty” by allegedly telling them that harsh interrogation methods helped track down the terrorist mastermind.
Argo, Skyfall, Zero Dark Thirty Among PGA Noms
The Producers Guild of America has announced its nominees for 2012’s best, and not surprisingly titles like Zero Dark Thirty, Argo and Beasts of the Southern Wild have made the list. (Perhaps more surprising is the inclusion of James Bond‘s latest, Skyfall. Bully for you, 007.)
The PGA nominations are worth nothing because they tend to be a good indication of where the Oscar noms could go as well. Check out the full list of picks below:

Zero Dark Thirty Review
It should be noted that this review discusses the real-world events that Zero Dark Thirty is based on, and therefore might be considered spoilery by some.
Director Kathryn Bigelow’s Zero Dark Thirty isn’t just great dramatic filmmaking, it’s also great journalism — which is a really weird concept, but there you have it. The film tells the decade-long tale of how a CIA operative slowly, methodically located Osama bin Laden in the wake of 9/11. In so doing, the movie could’ve turned into a dry, by-the-books accounting of the humdrum reality and red tape that led up to that fateful raid on bin Laden’s Abbottabad compound in May, 2011. But instead, it’s one of the best films of the year, a thrilling procedural and study of the labors of obsession.
