Seth MacFarlane and Emma Stone will announce the 85th Annual Academy Awards nominations
MacFarlane and Stone will unveil the nominations at a 5:30 a.m. PT news conference at the Academy's Samuel Goldwyn Theater in Beverly Hills, where hundreds of media representatives from around the world will be gathered.
Since the first nominations announcement in 1964, the Academy president has been joined by one or more co-announcers at the event. This year the Academy will break with tradition when MacFarlane, who was named Oscar show host in October, joins Stone on Oscar nominations morning. Charlton Heston (1972) was the only other show host to participate in the nominations announcement.
Stone starred in the 2011 Best Picture nominee The Help and the summer release The Amazing Spider-Man. Her other film credits include Superbad, Zombieland, Easy A and Crazy Stupid Love. Stone will be seen in Gangster Squad later this month and in The Croods, due out in March.
Nominations information for all categories will be distributed to news media in attendance and via the Internet on the official Academy Awards website, Oscar.com.
Academy Awards for outstanding film achievements of 2012 will be presented on Oscar Sunday, February 24, 2013, at the Dolby Theatre at Hollywood & Highland Center, and televised live on the ABC Television Network. The Oscar presentation also will be televised live in more than 225 countries worldwide.
The Academy Awards episode 85.1, "85th Annual Academy Awards" stars Seth MacFarlane and is directed by Don Mischer.

Really looking forward to seeing if Skyfall gets a Best Picture nom or not. I really do think it has a shot at being nominated.

Looking forward to seeing all the overrated films get the most awards and the best films getting close to nothing. Kind of like how the Oscars have been the past few years.

Can't wait to see that nominations, though I expect the usual egregious snubs and WTFs?

Wow, I like Emma Stone, but I think that's too high of an honor to give to her. As for Seth McFarlane, well I don't know, I hate his sense of humor and think he's more TV famous and should not host the Awards.
