"After receiving the most Golden Globes nominations, Steven Spielberg&amp;#039;s film Lincoln has done it again, topping the nomination list for the 85th Academy Awards. The historical epic about the 16th US president and his Civil War struggles received 12 nominations, including Best Picture, Best Actor (Daniel Day-Lewis), Best Supporting Actor (Tommy Lee Jones) and Best Supporting Actress (Sally Fields). It was closely followed by Ang Lee&amp;#039;s Life of Pi, which earned 11 nods total and is one of the nine films nominated for Best Picture. Also vying for the Best Picture Oscar are Les Mis\u00E9rables and Silver Linings Playbook, which each received eight nominations, as well as the low-budget Beasts of the Southern Wild and the controversial Zero Dark Thirty about the hunt for Osama bin Laden.   Some other impressive numbers: the youngest and oldest Best Actress nominees have academy history-making ages. Emmanuelle Riva, 85, has been nominated for her role in Amour, while Quvenzhan\u00E9 Wallis received a nod for her work in Beasts of the Southern Wild at just nine years old. Even more surprising than Wallis&amp;#039;s age is the absence of Ben Affleck (Argo), Kathryn Bigelow (Zero Dark Thirty), Quentin Tarantino (Django Unchained) and Tom Hooper (Led Mis\u00E9rables) from the list of Best Director nominees. Other shocking omissions included Skyfall and The Dark Knight Rises for Best Picture and Leonardo DiCaprio and Samuel L. Jackson for Best Supporting Actor for their roles in the Tarantino flick. The nominations were announced this morning by &amp;quot;It Girl&amp;quot; Emma Stone and Family Guy creator and Ted director, Seth MacFarlane, during a live telecast from Los Angeles. MacFarlane, who received a nod for his original song in Ted, will also host the Academy Awards live from the Dolby Theatre at Hollywood &amp;amp;amp; Highland on February 24.
