2013 Oscar nominees list
Introduction
I think this was not a surprise. "Lincoln" is leading this year in the Oscar race, with 12 nominations. The film about the 16th president of the United States of America picked up two nominations: for best director (Steven Spielberg) and best actor (Daniel Day-Lewis).
“Life of Pi” (Ang Lee) follows close with 11 nominations. "Les Miserables" and "Silver Linings Playbook" are on the third place with eight nominations each.
An interesting fact for this year is that the Academy named its eldest and youngest best actress nominees ever. The star from "Beasts of the Southern Wild", Quvenzhané Wallis (9 year old) was nominated for best actress along with Emmanuelle Riva (85 year old) from "Amour".
The 85th Academy Awards Gala will take place on February 24 at Hollywood & Highland Center in Los Angeles, and it will be presented by actor Seth MacFarlane.
The oldest and the youngest
At 85 years, Emmanuelle Riva (French) became, in January 2013, the oldest Academy Award nominee. In the same time, Quvenzhane Wallis (nine year old), became the youngest actress nominated for this award (she was acting in "Beasts of the Southern Wild" at the age of 6).
Ten years was the age of the youngest actresse ever won an Oscar: Tatum O'Neal (1974). On the other hand, six years is the age of the youngest actresses who ever won an honorary Oscar: Shirley Temple (1935). 85 years, Emmanuelle Riva (French) became the oldest Academy Award nominee. In the same time, Quvenzhane Wallis (nine year old), became the youngest actress nominated for this award (she was acting in "Beasts of the Southern Wild" at the age of 6).

Bond. James Bond at Hollywood & Highland Center
In 2012, James Bond films (23) celebrated half a century of existence, but they obtained only two Oscars of seven Oscar nominations: in technical categories (“Goldfinger” won for sound effects and “Thunderball” earned a statuette for visual effects).
This year, the Oscar ceremony will feature a special 50th anniversary tribute to James Bond franchise (one of the most profitable franchises in the history of world cinema). Nobody knows, until now, if all six Bond actors will be present at the ceremony. Let’s remember their names: George Lazenby, Sean Connery, Timothy Dalton, Daniel Craig, Roger Moore, Pierce Brosnan.
