\"\"<\/a>Hugo<\/strong>, director Martin Scorsese’s film that features an early pioneer of the film industry and stresses the importance of film preservation, has earned itself an impressive 11 nominations for Academy Awards including Best Picture, Best Director and Best Adapted Screenplay. The Motion Picture Academy of Arts and Sciences announced the nominees for the annual Academy Awards.<\/p>\n

Right behind Hugo<\/strong>, in terms of the number of nominations it has received, is The Artist<\/strong>, which garnered nods in 10 categories including\u00a0Best Actor (Jean Dujardin), Best Supporting Actress (B\u00e9r\u00e9nice Bejo), Best Original Screenplay, Best Director (Michel Hazanavicius) and Best Picture.<\/p>\n

The biggest surprise of the morning was the number of Best Picture nominees there would be. Thanks to the Academy’s new nomination\u00a0 system, the number could have ranged anywhere between five and ten, but this year settled on nine.<\/p>\n

One of those nine was the inside baseball film Moneyball<\/strong>, which earned a total of six nominations including Best Actor (Brad Pitt) and Best Supporting Actor (Jonah Hill). War Horse<\/strong> also scored six nominations including Best Picture.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Of the five nominations the English-language remake of The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo<\/strong> picked up, four were in technical categories with Rooney Mara picking up a Best Supporting Actress nod. The Help<\/strong> picked up 4 nominations, including Best Picture, Best Actress for Viola Davis and two in the Best Supporting supporting category – Jessica Chastain and Octavia Spencer.<\/p>\n

Interestingly, Iran’s Best Foriegn Language film nominee, A Separation<\/strong>, also earned a Best Original Screenplay nod, a rare feat for a Foreign Language nominee.<\/p>\n
