The Oscar nominations made this morning a great one for several Hollywood A-listers. 
 
 "Birdman" and "Grand Budapest Hotel" tied for the most nominations with nine, while "The Imitation Game" garnered eight. 
 
 Several stars received their first-ever nomination, including Steve Carell, Emma Stone and Eddie Redymayne, while Meryl Streep took home her 19th. 
 
 However, it was a truly historic morning for Robert Duvall, who, at 84, became the oldest actor to get an Oscar nod.
