American Hustle, Gravity Score 10 Oscar Nods ETA: More nomination information
(Newser) – American Hustle was a big winner at this morning's Academy Award nominations announcement, snagging nods in seven major categories: Best Picture, Best Director, Best Original Screenplay, and all four of the acting categories. Gravity tied Hustle for most overall nominations, with 10 apiece. 12 Years a Slave, also nominated for Best Picture, followed with nine nominations today. The Wolf of Wall Street and Nebraska scored five each, including Best Picture. The rest of the Best Picture nominees: Captain Phillips, Dallas Buyers Club, Gravity, Her, and Philomena.
ETA:
BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. - The nominations for the 86th Academy Awards were announced this morning in Beverly Hills. News 12's Elisa DiStefano sat down with Newsday film critic Rafer Guzman to discuss the nominees and his predictions of who will win.
This year, nine films are nominated for the coveted Best Picture Award. They are "Gravity," "American Hustle," "12 Years a Slave," "Captain Phillips," "Dallas Buyers Club," "Her," "Nebraska," "The Wolf of Wall Street" and "Philomena." Both "Gravity" and "American Hustle" lead the nominations with 10 nods each.
The best actor nominees are Chiwetel Ejiofor ("12 Years a Slave"), Bruce Dern ("Nebraska"), Leonardo DiCaprio ("The Wolf of Wall Street"), Matthew McConaughey ("Dallas Buyers Club") and Christian Bale ("American Hustle"). The best actress nominees are Amy Adams ("American Hustle"), Cate Blanchett ("Blue Jasmine"), Sandra Bullock ("Gravity"), Judi Dench ("Philomena") and Meryl Streep ("August: Osage County").
Though historically the most-nominated films have taken home best picture, that's not been the case in recent years. Six of the last 10 years the most-nominated film hasn't triumphed in the end, including last year when Steven Spielberg's "Lincoln," with 12 nominations, was beaten by Ben Affleck's "Argo."
"12 Years a Slave" recently won the Golden Globe for best motion picture - drama.
The Academy Awards will air live on March 2 at 7 p.m. on ABC. They will be hosted for a second time by Ellen DeGeneres.

I haven't seen any of the best pic nominees (not so easy to get out and when I do it's not to see a movie), but this year I think they all look great and I want to see them all.

Hoping to see American Hustle this weekend.
And I was very surprised The Butler didn't receive anything. It's a shame. Such a great movie.
I was just thinking the same thing about The Butler. I can't believe that it got completely shut out.
We're going to see American Hustle this week, too.

Her was brilliant in a sweet and heartbreaking way. But I'd watch Joaquin Phoenix pick his nose and think he's brilliant.
Loved Dallas Buyers Club, too. Gravity I haven't seen because it would give me anxiety!
My booboo Christian Bale got another best actor nom which was very well deserved. I loved American Hustle!
