Oscars 2013: Here Are the Nominations

Oscars host Seth MacFarlane and actress Emma Stone revealed the nominees for the 85th Academy Awards on Thursday at the Samuel Goldwyn Theater in Beverly Hills, Calif.

Winners will be announced Feb. 24 at the Dolby Theatre, as people watch at home on ABC.

MacFarlane, who earned the hosting gig in October, is now only one of two Oscars hosts to ever participate in the nominations announcement. Charlton Heston did so in 1972.

Steven Spielberg's Lincoln leads the pack of nominees with 12 nods.
