Update: Check below for a full list of nominees.

At 8:30 a.m. ET/5:30 a.m. PT on Thursday, Guillermo del Toro and Ang Lee announced the first batch of nominees for the 2016 Academy Awards.

Eight minutes later, 13 Hours star John Krasinski and Academy President Cheryl Boone Isaacs took the stage to announce nominations for the rest of the show's awards, including its biggest prizes of all.

In the end, Alejandro Iñárritu's The Revenant reigned victorious, leading the pack with 12 nominations, including Best Actor, Director, and Picture. It's followed closely by George Miller's Mad Max: Fury Road, which got 10 nods, including Picture and Director. With seven nominations (including Picture but not, this time, Director), Ridley Scott's The Martian landed in third.
